Mimi's 7 Layer Bars

For me, nothing says Christmas like my Mimi's 7 layer bars and her fudge. Sadly for you, her fudge recipe is a family secret that I was sworn to protect when finally given the recipe two years ago. But the 7 layer bars I make for events year round and everyone always wants the recipe. Mimi does allow this one to be given out. Although I will say at this point neither of us needs the recipe to make them, we go by what looks right! Enjoy!

1/2 cup (1 stick) butter
1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1 1/3 cup flaked coconut
6 oz. semi-sweet chocolate chips
6 oz. butterscotch chips
6 oz. peanut butter chips
1 14 oz. can sweetened condensed milk
1 cup chopped nuts

Preheat oven to 350.
Melt butter in 13x9 inch baking pan.
Sprinkle graham cracker crumbs over butter evenly to make crust.
Sprinkle coconut and three types of chips evenly over crumbs.
Pour sweetened condensed milk over chips.
Top with nuts.
Bake 25 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool. Chill if desired. Cut into bars.

We think they taste best when stored in the fridge. They are so easy to make and you can change the chips around to your liking! Have fun and enjoy!

I don't usually cut mine quite this big because they're rich! So yummy!!
