Ingredients
  

For the Bars:
  • 2.5 cups Graham cracker crumbs (about 20 crackers)
  • 12 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
  • 0.5 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 cup Milk chocolate chips
  • 1 cup Butterscotch baking chips
  • 1 cup White chocolate chips
  • 1 cup Chopped pecans
  • 1 14-ounce can Sweetened condensed milk
  • 1.33 cups Unsweetened shredded coconut

Equipment

  • 9x13-inch baking pan
  • Mixing bowls
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Rubber spatula
  • Oven

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Step 1: Prepare the Baking Pan - Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking pan with cooking spray to prevent the bars from sticking.
  2. Step 2: Make the Base Layer - In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and salt. Stir until the mixture resembles wet sand. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan to create an even base.
  3. Step 3: Add the Chocolate Layers - Sprinkle the milk chocolate chips evenly over the graham cracker crust. Follow this with the butterscotch baking chips and then the white chocolate chips. Add the chopped pecans next, spreading them out evenly.
  4. Step 4: Pour the Sweetened Condensed Milk - Open the can of sweetened condensed milk and pour it evenly over the layered ingredients in the pan, ensuring that every part is covered.
  5. Step 5: Finish with Coconut - Sprinkle the unsweetened shredded coconut over the top of the condensed milk layer. Make sure to cover the entire surface, as this will give the bars a delicious chewy texture.
  6. Step 6: Bake - Place the baking pan in the preheated oven and bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly. Keep an eye on them to avoid over-baking.
  7. Step 7: Cool and Serve - Once baked, remove the pan from the oven and let it cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Once cool, cut into squares and serve. Enjoy your delicious 7 Layer Bars!

Notes

  • Store bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
  • For longer storage, refrigerate for up to two weeks or freeze for up to three months.
  • Separate layers with parchment paper when freezing to prevent sticking.
