Ingredients
Instructions
- Melt butter in an oblong glass dish.
- Add graham cracker crumbs to the melted butter and press down to form a crust.
- Pour Eagle Brand milk evenly over the cracker crumb crust.
- Sprinkle chocolate chips on top of the milk layer.
- Add butterscotch chips over the chocolate chips.

Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using unsalted butter and adding a pinch of salt to the graham cracker crust. If you don't have English walnuts, pecans or almonds can be great substitutes. To make this recipe gluten-free, use gluten-free graham cracker crumbs. If you want a touch of spice, try adding a teaspoon of cinnamon to the crust.
Serving Suggestions
These 7 Layer Bars are delightful on their own, but they also pair beautifully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for added indulgence. You can serve them alongside coffee or tea for a sweet afternoon treat, or pack them for a picnic. For a more substantial dessert, consider serving with a slice of Bonnie'S 3-Step Cheesecake.
Storage & Reheating
Allow the bars to cool completely before cutting them into squares. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week. They can also be frozen for longer storage; just wrap them well in plastic wrap and foil.
