Cooking Light - Hello Dolly Bars



Cooking Light - December 2007 - Hello Dolly Bars Also found on page 388 in the 2008 Annual Recipes book.

I used a 10" x 13" pan instead of a 9 x 9 pan. I also upped the graham cracker crumbs to almost 2 cups but kept the butter and water amounts the same. Don't fret about the lack of butter and crumbliness of the graham crackers, the condensed milk will seep down and help meld it all together. And don't skip lining the pan with parchment paper.

Hello Dolly Bars (aka Magic Bars, 7-Layer Bars)

1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs (about 9 cookie sheets)
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1 tablespoon water
1/3 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1/3 cup butterscotch morsels
2/3 cup flaked sweetened coconut
1/4 cup chopped pecans, toasted
1 (15-ounce)* can fat-free sweetened condensed milk

Preheat oven to 350°.
Line the bottom and sides of a 9-inch square baking pan with parchment paper; cut off excess parchment paper around top edge of pan.
Place crumbs in a medium bowl. Drizzle with butter and 1 tablespoon water; toss with a fork until moist. Gently pat mixture into an even layer in pan (do not press firmly). Sprinkle chips and morsels over crumb mixture. Top evenly with coconut and pecans. Drizzle milk evenly over top. Bake at 350° for 25 minutes or until lightly browned and bubbly around edges. Cool completely on wire rack.

*as with everything nowadays, there's shrinkage in the packaging. My can was only 14 ounces. Not a crucial difference at all.
