Seven layer cookie bar

I have tried this recipe a few times and it comes out well and also liked by my family members and friends. It's easy to make and can also be made in bulk for very special occasions.

Cooking time - 25-35 mins
Prep time - 10 mins

Makes 40 cookie bars of medium size.

Ingredients:

1. 1/2 cup butter (1 stick)
2. 1 1/2 - 2 cups graham cracker crumbs (needs to be crushed in blender if you buy Graham crackers).
3. 1 can sweetened condensed milk
4. 1 cup of white and 1 cup of brown chocolate chips (can be in any proportion depending on taste) - Alternative: this can be replaced with carob chips if you prefer.
5. 1 1/3 cup flaked coconut
6. 1 cup chopped almonds, walnuts, cashews

Method:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Melt butter in microwave by warming it for 1 min.
• In a 13 x 9 inch baking pan pour butter. Sprinkle crumbs over it to form an even and uniform layer. If the crumbs are not enough so as to cover butter completely, you can mix more graham cracker crumbs as needed. Press the crumbs onto the pan with a spoon.
• Next, pour sweetened condensed milk evenly over crumbs.
• Add remaining ingredients in that order. Press down firmly.
• Bake 25-35 minutes or until lightly browned. Check the oven after 25 mins and thereafter every 5 mins to see the color of the cookie bars.
• Cool before cutting and making into pieces.
• Offer it to the Lord and then, enjoy!
