Seven Layer Bars #ChocolateParty

001

I have never made these bars before. I am not sure why I haven’t. I joined the #chocolateparty where the theme is coconut. I googled chocolate and coconut and this is what I came up with. The hubster said his mom made these all the time during Christmas. I think I must have had a deprived childhood because I don’t remember my mom making anything like this. I decided to bring these bars to a church function. I didn’t wait until they were completely cooled because they had to be individually wrapped for this function. I had a taste of the crumbs left over and one of the bars that just wouldn’t hold together. It was really good, if only I had refrigerated them before I cut them. Overall, I would make them again, but I would not procrastinate. I would let them cool and store them in the refrigerator until they were hard enough to cut.

1/2 cup butter or margarine

    i love 7 layer bars, they are so good and so versatile. I haven’t made them in ages, I should change that. Your friends at the church were so lucky
    Thanks for bringing them to this month chocolate party, I hope you’ll join us again

    lol – I had to google a recipe for this month’s theme too. I was never a huge fan of shredded coconut in baked goods but this month’s Chocolate Party has changed my mind. This 7 layer bar looks so indulgent and delicious! At least you had a good reason for not properly chilling it – I just don’t have the patience. I would’ve wanted to dig in asap!
