Uh, YUM. Thanks so much, Katie!
I think I’ve asked this a million times but, what’s your go-to recipe when baking for a crowd?
(Mine is blondies…or CHOC’s…)
Brb, picking my jaw up off the floor.
Oh man, drooling like woah. Love that these can be gluten-free too
Ohh, they can can’t they?!
thank you!! they definitely can!
My friends go freaking CRAZY over these! We’ve made them for years- so delicious!
aren’t they awesome!? i love them!
Brownies are one of my go-tos. I made a boxed cake for the bf;s bday at his request.. and now his friends always request that I bring one over. I am not a fan, but I like to please others!
Drooling. Do you think these would work well with coconut oil subbed for butter?!
Er those look freaking awesome…all my favorite things in a bar: graham crackers, coconut, chocolate, nuts and to round it up, a little peanut butter action as frosting
These bars beat 7-layer salads any day!
Mmmm…those 7 layer bars look fabulous. I love how they are jam-packed with so many different yummy flavors. Thanks for posting the recipe, Katie! 😀
These bars look out of control amazing! I need to learn how to bake…soon!
My son LOVES 7 layer bars, and when I make them for holidays, is usually the only time I do, he asks the same thing every year, ” what 7 ingredients are in it again mom “? lol! U think he would know by now ; )
Looks yummy!!
I do mine with butterscotch chips and pecans….I’m excited to swap for white chocolate and walnuts!
These bars look amazing! I like that they are easy to make too! I am definitely saving this recipe
mouth watering.
This was my family’s specialty dessert growing up!
These looks amazing! And I just read they can be gluten-free!?! AMAZING!
Oh my gosh…we totally used to make these when I was little!!! I don’t know where to get a gluten free version of the animal crackers.. so I think I might try making these with gluten free oreos
