Hello Dolly Bars

I don't know why they're called Hello Dollies. But they are fattening and gooey and I love them. So here we are.
Prep Time15 minutes
Cook Time30 minutes
Cooling30 minutes
Total Time1 hour 15 minutes
Course: Dessert
Servings: 25 bars, approximately?

Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup crushed graham crackers (slightly less than one packet in a box)
  • 1 cup coconut
  • 1 cup crushed walnuts
  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate morsels
  • 1 can sweetened condensed milk

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350° F.
  • Line the bottom of a 9"x9" baking pan with graham cracker crumbs to make a crust.
  • Spread the coconut, walnuts, and chocolate morsels in layers on top of the crust.
  • Pour the sweetened condensed milk over the whole pan, as evenly as possible.
  • Bake for 30 minutes. The mass will be very gooey.
  • Chill/cool the bars for about half an hour or until cohesive and no longer crumbly.

Notes

  • It is tempting to add more chocolate, because chocolate is delicious. However, I have found that it destabilizes the bar.
  • It is also tempting to eat before cooling. And as long as you wait for it to cool enough to touch, this is fine, it will just be very very messy. I find patience improves the experience.
