DOLLY MADISON BARS

Graham Cracker Crust:

1 cup regular or gluten-free graham cracker crumbs 

1 stick melted butter

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. 

If you are using a metal baking pan, increase the heat to 350 degrees and bake only for 15-20 minutes.

Combine crumbs and melted butter in a medium bowl. Mix well and then place the crumb mixture into a 9x12 Pyrex baking dish. Use your palm or the bottom of a measuring cup to press the crumbs down evenly over the bottom of the baking dish.

Next, layer the chocolate chips, chopped nuts, and coconut evenly over the graham cracker crust. Pour condensed milk all over the filling mixture. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the top is golden brown. Allow to cool and then cut and serve.
