7Th Heaven Cookie Bars

Directions

1. 1
   The first time I tried these heavenly cookie bars was when my husband and I first moved back to Virginia and I was temping at a non-profit over near Ballston Commons in Arlington. One of my co-workers left them in the kitchen area where they were quickly devoured. Once I found out who had made them, I marched into the miracle baker's office and proceeded to beg her for the recipe. She was more than happy to oblige and shared with me that her mom used to make these amazingly simple treats for her and her siblings when they were little. So without further ado here is the recipe I had to grovel for in order to share with you today

   Layer evenly with 1 cup of chocolate chips, followed by 1 cup of butterscotch chips, 1 cup of white chocolate chips and 1 1/4 cups coconut. Sprinkle with chopped nuts and to finish pour sweetened condensed milk evenly over the top.

   Before placing in oven, sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 cup of butterscotch, chocolate and white chocolate chips. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until lightly browned. Allow to cool completely and cut into bars.

   Note: For perfectly cut cookie bars, line entire pan with foil, extending foil over edge of pan. Coat lightly with no-stick cooking spray. Then place the cookie batter in the pan and cook as directed above. After the bars have baked and cooled, lift up by edges of foil to remove from pan and cut into individual bars.
