Hello Dolly Bars Recipe

Hello Dolly Bars, with sweetened condensed milk, are one of the best desserts out there. I love this recipe for Hello Dolly cookie bars (also known as Magic Bars), and people will be lining up to get one! The bar consists of a graham cracker crust, shredded coconut, chocolate chips, pecans, and sweetened condensed milk.

Notes

*Every oven is different, so sometimes they need to be baked a little longer to get golden brown.
Updated: I've had a few comments lately about the bars not setting up properly after baking. As they bake, you will want the edges to be a darker golden than the inside of the dessert.
Add one cup butterscotch chips to the chocolate chips layer, if desired.
Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream to the top of the baked bars and drizzle on some caramel sauce for a decadent dessert.
