think the recipe Bill is looking for is called Seven Layer Bars and/or
Magic Cookie Bars. It's really easy to make and delicious too. I
make them every year for Christmas.
SEVEN LAYER BARS
1/2 cup butter or margarine (1 stick)
1 cup graham cracker crumbs
1 cup flaked sweetened coconut
1 cup chocolate chips
1 cup butterscotch chips (may use all chocolate chips if preferred)
1 12 oz can sweetened condensed milk (may us non-fat but it must
be sweetened, not just condensed milk)
1 cup chopped pecans or walnuts
Turn oven to 350 degrees. Place butter or margarine in 9 x 13 inch
pan and place in oven until butter melts. Carefully swirl melted
butter in pan to cover bottom and grease sides. Place on a flat
heat-proof surface. Evenly sprinkle the next 4 ingredients over the
bottom of pan in the order given. Pour sweetened condensed milk
over the top, covering it as much as possible. Sprinkle the nuts
evenly over the top. Bake for 25-30 minutes. Cool and cut into
desired size bars. These freeze well and should be refrigerated
for storage of more than a day or two. Margaret
