Milkmaid's Recipe Box: Seven Layer Magic Cookie Bars

Milkmaid's Recipe Box

FOOD, FOOD, FOOD! I'm such a FARMER at heart-- even a CALF knows that so much in life is about the FOOD! (A bit of a "bio" about me can be found way down near the bottom.)

You can find a recipe index entitled "Labels" down along the right side, starting below the picture of the farm. Then, below the "Label" list are pictures of some of my old "standbys"-- click on their picture and it should take you to the recipe.

You will see no advertising on my blog; this means there is no monetary benefit for me having "visitors" or "joiners"-- having said that, if you do wish to JOIN my blog, you can do so by scrolling w-a-y down to near the bottom of the page...

Seven Layer Magic Cookie Bars

Source: Eagle Brand

INGREDIENTS:

1/2 cup (1 stick) butter
1 and 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1 (14 oz.) can sweetened condensed milk (not evaporated milk)
1 cup butterscotch flavored chips
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 and 1/3 cup flaked coconut
1 cup chopped nuts

DIRECTIONS:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees (325 degrees for glass dish).

In a 9x13-inch baking pan, melt butter in oven and remove. Sprinkle crumbs over the melted butter; pour sweetened condensed milk evenly on top of crumbs. Top with remaining ingredients in order listed above; press down firmly with a fork. Bake 25 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool. Chill if desired.

Cut into bars. Store covered at room temperature.

Tip: For perfectly cut cookie bars, line entire pan (including sides) with a sheet of aluminum foil first. When bars are baked, cool; lift up edges of foil to remove from pan. Transfer to cutting board and carefully cut into individual squares with your longest knife. Lift off of foil.
