Seven Layer Bars
These Seven Layer Bars (sometimes called Granny Squares) are effortless thrown together for a quick and easy delicious dessert. Layers of chocolate and butterscotch chips, along with coconut and pecans are toasted in sweetened condensed milk on top of a graham cracker crust. These delectable bars have been requested many times over the years from my friends and family and are great for the holidays or anytime for a sweet treat. They can easily be made dairy-free and vegan by substituting for plant butter, dairy-free chocolate chips and coconut sweetened condensed milk.
