    The other day I went to get in my car. Lo and behold there was a baggie on the hood of my car filled with some bakery. So, I took the baggie off the hood and got in my car. Needless to say, when I was driving I devoured all of the bars. They were phenominal! I knew they had to be from my neighbor, so when I got home, I ran like a wild woman to her house. "What were those bars that you left me?" I begged. She said, "Seven Layer Magic Bars! If you want the recipe, I can get it from my friend." I thanked her, but refused, because I knew that one quick trip to Recipezaar and I would have the recipe. And I was right! They are so good that I'm afraid to make any more, because I'm trying desperately to loose weight, and with these in the house, my will power will be gone! If you haven't tried these, you are really missing out on a taste sensation--as Tony the Tiger would say...."THEY'RE GREAT!"

    These are very tasty, but the nuts don't stick to them. I think maybe placing the coconut next to the nuts doesn't work well (nothing to make them stick together). If I try them again, I think, I'll put the chocolate chips between the coconut and the nuts...

    Whenever I am invited to someone's house, this is what I am told to bring. So yummy! I also sprinkle white chocolate chips and leave off the nuts since people can be so finicky I also pour on the sweetened condensed milk right before I pop it in the oven. I would watch the cook time because the edges tend to cook real fast and then it's a real hassle to cut because they stick to the side of the pan. Maybe greasing pan first would help? I will try that next time.

    Awesome- a salty and sweet, chocolatey and sugary treat. My husband and I made these together- fun and easy. I've had these before, and am so glad I found this recipe so we could make them ourselves!

    LOVE these old-fashion type bars.....I say that because they have been around FOREVER!! I always make these for our school's bake sale at the fall carnival, as well as the pre-school Christmas program party, and they are always GONE so quickly!!!! I personally don't really care for butterscotch flavoring, yet I still LOVE these.....you should definitely try them!!

    I was looking for a treat that I could put into the mail to my kids who attend Purdue, and this was just perfect. I made the recipe as directed, but split it between two foil 8" square pans, which fit nicely into a standard mailing box. I know the kids will love it, even though it will arrive with a small square missing from one corner (one HAS to sample these things, don't you think??)
