Kid job
Kids can mix the crust, sprinkle the chips and coconut, and drizzle the sweet milk. A grown-up handles the oven.
What you need
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 cup butterscotch chips
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 1/3 cups shredded coconut
- 1 cup chopped nuts (pecans or walnuts work great — skip if allergic)
How to make it
- 1Ask a grown-up to heat the oven to 350°F (325°F if using a glass pan).
- 2In a bowl, stir the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter together until it feels like wet sand.
- 3Press the crumb mixture into the bottom of a 9 x 13 inch pan to make the crust — this is the earth, day 1! And it was good!
- 4Pour the sweetened condensed milk evenly over the crust — like light spreading across the world, day 2. And it was good!
- 5Sprinkle the butterscotch and chocolate chips on top — the waters and the sky, days 2 and 3. And it was good!
- 6Add the shredded coconut for land, plants, and trees, day 3. And it was good!
- 7Sprinkle the nuts on top for the birds, fish, and animals, days 5 and 6. And it was good!
- 8Ask a grown-up to bake the pan for 25–30 minutes, until the edges are golden and bubbly.
- 9Let the bars cool completely — this is the rest on day 7! And it was good!
- 10Have a grown-up cut into squares. Enjoy your seven-layer creation. And it was very good!
Grown-ups: please help with the oven, the stove, and anything sharp.
