These bars are a fun take on Hello Dollys! I’ve heard them called Magic Bars, 7 Layer Bars, or Hello Dollys, whatever you call them they are delicious and worth putting on your to bake list, very soon!
Before you start baking you want to spray your 9×13 pan with non stick baking spray and maybe even a sheet of parchment paper, these are my favorite precut parchment papers, especially if you’re wanting clean cut bars like pictured below! You start the recipe with a basic graham cracker crust with graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. press it in the pan. It isn’t a lot but it make the perfect thin crust in my opinion.
Next up shredded coconut and all the chocolate!
I love that this recipe can be easily adaptable if you really love something you can add more, or if you really don’t like something you can not use it!
Top with M&Ms or Cadbury Eggs if it’s that special season! You can chop some and keep some whole, whatever you like. You choose your adventure! I really love how easy this recipe is, so easy to throw together in a couple minutes, great recipe to make with kids and SO delicious!
Top it all over with a jar of sweetened condensed milk!
Bake it all up until its slightly golden on the sides and top with more candies on the top for a pop of color!
Once cooled the parchment paper makes it so easy to pop it right out of the pan and cut all the bars really easily! Even if I’m not serving them for an event I prefer this way because the bars just come out so much cleaner and it’s so much easier to cut them all!
The combo of slightly salty from the graham cracker crust, array of chocolates, slight snap from the candy coated M&Ms are just so delicious! I hope you love these bars as much as we do!
They really are pretty MAGICAL!
