Tickling Our Tastebuds
by Denise Valentine
Hello, everyone. Now that the children are out of school for the summer, you may be looking for some activities to keep them busy. Baking is always fun, and the best part is that they get to eat the finished product.
These “7 Layer Cookie Bars” provide the perfect opportunity to let the kids help create the recipe. You can let them sprinkle on the layers, and when they are finished baking, they can enjoy the delicious cookies with a big glass of cold milk.
I hope you have a wonderful summer!
7 Layer Cookie Bars
1/2 cup butter, melted
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1 cup butterscotch flavored chips
1 (14 oz.) can sweetened condensed milk
1 1/3 cups flaked coconut
1 cup chopped nuts (optional)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Pour melted butter into a 9 x 13 inch baking pan. Sprinkle graham cracker crumbs over butter; pour sweetened condensed milk evenly over crumbs. Top with remaining ingredients; press down firmly.
Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool. Chill if desired. Cut into bars. Store loosely covered at room temperature.
