Dolly Bars, also known as Seven-Layer Bars or Magic Bars, stand as a testament to the magic of layered desserts. Each layer contributes its unique texture and flavor, blending into a symphony of sweetness that’s hard to resist. Crafting Dolly Bars is not just about following a recipe; it’s about creating a dessert that brings joy with every bite, a treat that turns moments into memories. Let’s embark on this delightful culinary journey together, ensuring that every layer is perfect and every ingredient speaks of indulgence.
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups of graham cracker crumbs: The foundation of our Dolly Bars, providing a crunchy and sweet base.
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) of unsalted butter, melted: This binds the crumbs together and adds richness to the base.
- 1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips: For a layer of gooey, melty chocolate goodness.
- 1 cup of butterscotch chips: Adds a sweet, buttery layer that complements the chocolate.
- 1 cup of chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans recommended): These add a delightful crunch and nutty flavor.
- 1 cup of shredded coconut: Brings a tropical sweetness and chewy texture to the mix.
- 1 (14-ounce) can of sweetened condensed milk: The magic ingredient that binds all the layers together, caramelizing slightly as it bakes for a rich, creamy layer.
