Recipe of the Year

  One of my all-time favorite recipes is 7 Layer Bars.  It is a fairly simple recipe combining the deliciousness of coconut, graham cracker crust, and chocolate and peanut butter chips, all topped with sweetened condensed milk and baked.  These bars remind me of wintertime since my mother usually makes them around Christmastime. 

            The original recipe included most of the aforementioned ingredients in addition to walnuts and butterscotch chips instead of peanut butter.  However, the recipe has been adjusted and those have been omitted due to the fact that I do not like them.  Because of that, the recipe is misleading and should only be called 6 Layer Bars.  Whatever the name, these bars are the best dessert ever and everyone should experience the amazingness of 7 Layer Bars at least once in their lives.
