Wow! these layer cookies sure are mighty rich. I omitted the nuts but added some white chocolate chips in place. My dh just loved them. He is a sweet tooth person anyways. They were gone in a flash though. I took the advice and only baked 10-12 minutes. I did find that the bars needed to cool completely before cutting and digging in. I will be making these again, as my boys will be coming for the christmas holidays this year. Thanks for sharing the recipe!

So good and easy but I think 25 minutes is way too long. It should be like 10 to 15. Mine were overdone but managed to save most of them. So just be aware it may be too long.

I make these every year at Christmas...."Magic Layer Bars" is another name for these. A VERY good tip.....line 9x13 pan with foil...when the bars cool, they can easily be lifted out and are sooooo much easier to cut!

This is an excellent recipe which makes delicious bars but I wanted to make a suggestion about the method. I saw this recipe on an internet video but the woman put in the condensed milk first on top of the crushed biscuits and then topped it with the coconut, chocolate chips and nuts leaving a few choc chips for the top layer. Then she pressed down gently on the pan with a spatula and then baked the bars. I found this method far superior to the other method of adding the condensed milk at the end because the ingredients tend to get spread more evenly and I have a terrible time pouring the condensed milk evenly over the top. I found this other method even easier to follow and highly recommend both the method and the biscuit bars.
