Seven Layer Bars #SundaySupper

Seven Layer Bars, Magic Cookie Bars or Hello Dollies? Whatever you call these decadent layered coconut bars, they are winners!

Extra Thick, Extra Rich Seven Layer Bars

“Magic Cookie Bars” were a childhood favorite. Typically topped with butterscotch and chocolate chips in my neck of the woods, I went the triple chocolate route. Quality butterscotch chips are a rare commodity. White, semisweet and bittersweet discs covered the extra thick, gooey coconut filling to took these gems to a new, more decadent level! Not all Seven Layer Bars actually have seven layers, but these do; just count them: graham cracker crust, sweetened condensed milk, white chocolate, semisweet chocolate, bittersweet chocolate, coconut, AND pecans!

More Twists

Besides shaking up the chips, I made these bars in a smaller pan to create a thicker result. I also reserved some of the coconut for a final sprinkle which  allowed for a brown, slightly crispy topping. If you prefer the more classic bars, layer the chocolate, pecans and coconut and pour the sweetened condensed milk over the top before baking. These tweaks made for an out of this world dessert!
