I love these! My mom has been making these at Christmas time all my life! My fave! However, we mix the grahm crackers with the butter and then press them into a 9x13 pan. Then layer the ingredients instead of mixing them all. First the Choco chips, nuts, coconut, and then drizzle the condensed milk.
These cookies are wonderful. You can make some variations. Use a different kind of nut(Walnut pecan almond peanut) and the different kinds of chips(chocolate peanut butter cinnamon butterscotch white chocolate) and the many variations for the crust ( chocolate graham crackers chocolate chip cookies shortbread cookies etc.)
They tasted good but didn't hold together at all. Most Hello Dolly cookie recipes add the butter to the graham cracker crumbs only and then sprinkle the other ingredients on top. I've never had this problem with those cookies falling apart. We had to eat all the crumbs with a spoon.
I would definitely recommend as others have making the graham cracker crust and pressing it into the bottom first. Otherwise easy gooey sweet and yummy!!
I use a slight bit more graham crumbs and coconut to cut the richness and sometimes I mix 1/2 c. milk chocolate chips and 1/2 c. semisweet chips. Do not skimp on the evaporated milk - the generic brands don't do these bars justice.
Good but definitely holds together better if you mix butter and graham cracker crumbs together and press in dish first then top with other ingredients.
Sooo rich and good. Used an 8 x 8 pan and fat free sweetened condensed milk--turned out very well!
So easy and everyone loves them.
Very rich and sweet watch the time though I kinda over cooked mine. I think five minutes less would have been better. Thanks for the recipe Barb in BC Canada
