Hello Dolly Bars
I can't remember why but a few weeks ago I got it stuck in my head that I had to make hello dolly bars. I've seen the recipe many times but never really felt like making them. When I first tried them I thought they were okay but nothing amazing, but then they started to grow on me. A bonus is that they're extremely easy to make and will definitely satisfy your sweet tooth. I'm thinking next time I'll add more condensed milk.

Hello Dolly Bars
Adapted from Homesick Texan
I used regular graham cracker crumbs instead of cinnamon graham crackers. I also used unsweetened coconut and semisweet chocolate to try and not make it too sweet.
1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
1 1/2 cups unsweetened shredded coconut
1 1/2 cups chopped pecans
398 mL can sweetened condensed milk
1/2 cup butter
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Prepare a 9x9 pan by lining it with parchment paper.
Melt the butter in a saucepan. Pour melted butter into the pan. Sprinkle graham cracker crumbs into pan, and mix well with melted butter to form a crust.
Layer on top of graham-cracker crust the chocolate chips, coconut and pecans. Evenly pour sweetened condensed milk over everything.
Bake in oven for 25 to 30 minutes, top should be light brown. Let cool in pan for at least half an hour, cut into bars and serve.

The great picture alone makes me want to make them!
Ooh my mom makes a version of these things; with chocolate AND coconut, how can ya go wrong?
This is the first that I have heard of the hello dolly bars. They look really good!
These look fabulous!
i've never had one but have seen them in recipe books everywhere. they look really great!
I don't know that I have ever made these, but I have some friends that would love these flavors together. I will have to try them.
Yum, these look great!
Oh Gosh, those look so good, but I think I gained pounds just by looking at them.
yummo - these look great - I have come across a similar slice with peanuts instead of pecans but I love the name hello dolly bars and am tempted to cross out the boring name in my cookbook and scribble this in instead - and then to bake up a batch because yours look so good!
OK...even though I have started on the annual "let's straighten out our eating habits" diet, I just had to copy this recipe. Will try to hold off on making them until the next round of holidays. :o) http://blog.sweetservices.com/sweetscandyblog/
yes ma'am, this is one of the most winning recipes of all time. you pretty much can't screw it up, but you can make it more and more and more decadent. i like what you've done. :)
LOVE these bars! Yours are beautiful. You just can't go wrong with a good Hello Dolly!
So easy and so delicious !! :)

I've seen these and wanted to make them too!! I even bought the condensed milk, but I'm too afraid to make them.. who knows how many I'll end up eating.
these look lovely... very similar to something called miracle bars that I made:

Happy new year
I have read so much about hello dolly bars ever since I started blogging... I should try them, because these look so good!
I call these Magic Cookie Bars and they are SOOOO good! I love them.
I've never heard of these before, but YUM....just....YUM!!
I've seen these on a few blogs lately, but I've never had them before. I need to try them!
Love these! Yours look great!
I just made these last week- the new office I work in loved them, and had never had them before-what a treat for them. The recipe is on the sweetened condensed milk can. Under cook them a bit, and they are very moist and chewy. We made them first in the 60's when I was young, and have never had a Christmas without them since!! I melt the butter in the 9 X 11 pan, and then add the graham cracker crumbs to save washing a sauce pan.
These put my hello dolly bars to SHAME
YUMMMOOOOOOO ...... :)
i would like to try coconut & chocolate is my favourite combination
