Seven-Layer Magic Bars: Kate's Quicks Bites

Stephanie Matthews, executive director of A Tribe for Jazz joined Kate in the kitchen to make Seven-Layer Magic Bars.

A Tribe for Jazz combines STEM education and Jazz music for the Jazz Lab with challenges students to expand their horizons and discover new possibilities.

Ingredients:

½ cup salted butter
2 cup graham cracker crumbs (16 full graham cracker sheets)
2 cups shredded coconut
12 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips
6 oz butterscotch chips (½ package)
15 oz sweetened condensed milk
1 cup chopped walnuts

Directions:

Preheat oven to 325°F.
Melt butter and mix with graham cracker crumbs.
Press buttered crumbs into the bottom of a 13”x9”x2” baking dish.
Sprinkle the coconut on top of the graham cracker crust.
Next, sprinkle chocolate chips followed by the butterscotch chips.
Lastly, sprinkle the nuts over the surface.
Pour sweetened condensed milk over entire surface.
Bake at 325°F for 20-30 minutes or until the edges are just beginning to brown.
Immediately after removing the 7- layer bars from the oven loosen the sides of the bars from the pan, or they will be impossible to remove.
Cool on a rack.
Once they are completely cooled, cut them into bars with a knife and store in a sealed container for up to 5 days if they last that long.
