Hello Dolly Bars

As I said, C visited this weekend and made some delicious cookies while she was here. She got the basic recipe from another blog - Smitten Kitchen. However, the recipe is another take off on Magic Cookie Bars which have been around for a long time. The recipe called for butterscotch chips, which I didn't have (and probably never will, only chocolate chips are worth having), so she raided my cupboard and basically used every type of chocolate chip I had, white, semi-sweet, dark, milk chocolate and then threw in some toffee bits for good measure. Needless to say they are SWEET. I made her cut down by half on the butter for the crust, but I don't know why I worried about the extra butter calories when you can get a sugar high just looking at the delicious things. C also doubled it & put it into a 9 x 13 pan.

Adapted from Homesick Texan

1/2 cup (1 stick) salted butter, cut into large pieces
1 1/2 cups graham crackers crumbs (about 8 graham crackers, pulsed in a food processor)
1 1/2 cups chocolate chips
1 cup butterscotch chips
1 cup shredded coconut
1 cup pecans, coarsely chopped
1/3 cup sweetened condensed milk (just under half a small can)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Melt butter in microwave in heatproof bowl until just melted when stirred. Add graham cracker crumbs. Mix and then press evenly into the bottom of 8×8 baking pan.

Layer coconut, pecans, butterscotch and chocolate chips on top of graham cracker base. Pour sweetened condensed milk over whole mixture.

Bake in oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the top is light brown.
