How to Make Hello Dolly Bars

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a 13x9 inch baking pan, melt 1 cup (2 sticks) of unsalted butter. Combine with 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs and mix thoroughly.
  3. Press the graham cracker mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan to create a crust.
  4. Evenly sprinkle the following layers over the crust: 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut, 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, and ½ cup chopped walnuts.
  5. Drizzle 1 (14-ounce) can of sweetened condensed milk evenly over the top of the layers.
  6. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the topping is bubbly.
  7. Let cool completely before cutting into squares. For best results, refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.
