HELLO DOLLY BAR WITH WALNUTS
These hello Dolly bars—also known as 7 layer bars—are made with a combination of semisweet chocolate and butterscotch chips. The bars are assembled in seven layers, and they are incredibly delicious.
We look forward to making these for the holidays, but you really don't need a special occasion to bake them. There's very little preparation involved since it's just a matter of layering ingredients and popping them in the oven.
You can change them up a bit by replacing the butterscotch chips with more chocolate chips, peanut butter chips, or white chocolate chips. There are lots of options in the markets these days! We think toffee chips would be amazing. Or, make dulce de leche (caramel sauce) with the sweetened condensed milk (dulce de leche) and use that on the bars. We've included a simple caramel how-to below the recipe but plan in advance because you will have to let the milk cook over simmering water or in the oven for about 2 hours.
PREPARATION
Heat the oven to 350 F.Melt the butter and then combine it with the graham cracker crumbs in a bowl. Mix well. Pat the graham cracker crumb mixture in the bottom of a 13-by-9-by-2-inch baking pan.Sprinkle the remaining ingredients over the crumbs in the order given, in layers.
Drizzle the sweetened condensed milk over all. Do NOT stir.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes. Cool on a rack and then cut into bars.
