These bars have been around for years. You vary the ingredients according to likes and dislikes but the best feature about this recipe is the lack of clean up. You put all your ingredients together in your baking pan and only worry about the washing up after removing the bars from the pan.
Sweet and yummy….
Easy One Dish Cookie Bars
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 14 oz can sweetened condensed milk * Don’t mix this up with EVAPORATED…that won’t work
- 1 cup shredded coconut
- 12 to 16 oz Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
Preheat the oven to 350 F.
While it is heating, slice the butter into 1 TBS segments and scatter about a 13 x 9 x 2 baking pan.
Put the sliced butter in the oven while it preheats. Check on it in 3 to 4 minutes because you only want the butter to melt – not bubble.
Melted butter from the oven
Sprinkle the graham cracker crumbs on top of the melted butter.
Pour the sweetened condensed milk on top of the crumbs
Sprinkle the coconut on top of the sweetened condensed milk
Sprinkle the semi sweet chips on top of the coconut
The only direction left is to eat and enjoy!

LOVE these cookies. Some call them Hello Dolly Bars. Other call them Magic Bars. I call them FABULOUS! Have seen pb chips or butterscotch chips along with the choc chips.
Looks great I love sweets like this!
I think this recipe came out YEARS ago when Eagle Brand Sweetened Cond. Milk were advertising in magazines. They used the PB chips. I thought that might be TOO sweet and opted for coconut but mixed unsweetened reduced fat coconut with regular. They taste great.
I like the name “Hello Dolly Bars”. Cute.
