Description

Hello Dolly Bars are a decadent layered dessert featuring a buttery graham cracker crust topped with a rich mix of semi-sweet and white chocolate chips, crunchy walnuts, and toasted coconut. Sweetened condensed milk binds the layers together with luscious creaminess, creating an irresistible treat perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Crust

  • 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/2 cup butter, melted (1 stick)

Toppings

  • 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup chopped walnuts
  • 1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 1/2 cup white chocolate chips or butterscotch chips
  • 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare the Pan: Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with baking spray or butter, then line it with parchment paper leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal later.
  2. Make the Crust: In a large bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter thoroughly until the crumbs are evenly moistened. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish to form an even crust. Bake for 8-10 minutes until it turns lightly golden brown.
  3. Add the Toppings: Remove the baking dish from the oven and evenly sprinkle the semi-sweet chocolate chips, chopped walnuts, shredded coconut, and white or butterscotch chips over the hot crust. Use a spatula to gently spread the toppings to cover the crust completely.
  4. Pour Sweetened Condensed Milk: Carefully pour the entire can of sweetened condensed milk evenly over the top of the layered toppings without stirring, allowing it to bind everything together as it bakes.
  5. Bake the Bars: Return the baking dish to the oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until the bars are lightly browned and the coconut flakes turn golden.
  6. Cool and Slice: Let the bars cool to room temperature in the pan. Using the parchment paper overhang, lift the bars out of the pan onto a flat surface. Slice into squares using a sharp knife and serve.

Notes

  • For easier slicing, refrigerate the bars for an hour after cooling to firm up.
  • You can swap walnuts for pecans or omit nuts for a nut-free version.
  • Use butterscotch chips instead of white chocolate chips for a different flavor profile.
  • Line the pan with foil instead of parchment if preferred, but make sure to grease it well.
