Ingredients
Instructions
- Melt butter in a square pan.
- Layer chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, coconut, and pecans over the melted butter.
- Pour Eagle Brand milk evenly over all the ingredients.
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 30 minutes.

Tips & Substitutions
For the best flavor, use high-quality chocolate and butterscotch chips. If you're not a fan of pecans, walnuts or almonds can be excellent substitutes. To enhance the coconut flavor, consider using unsweetened coconut flakes. Ensure you press the layers down firmly before baking to achieve even slices. This recipe is similar to the beloved Sticky Cinnamon Buns in terms of indulgence.
Serving Suggestions
These Hello Dollies are perfect for dessert or as a sweet snack alongside coffee or tea. Serve them with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra treat. They pair beautifully with Chocolate Double Fudge Cake for a rich dessert spread. For a fun twist, try adding a drizzle of caramel sauce on top before serving.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, refrigerate for up to a week. To reheat, place individual squares in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds until warm, ensuring they don't become too soft. They can also be enjoyed cold straight from the fridge.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make Hello Dollies ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can prepare the Hello Dollies a day in advance and store them in an airtight container. This allows the flavors to meld beautifully. Just be sure to let them cool completely before cutting into squares and storing to maintain their shape.
What can I use instead of Eagle Brand milk?
If you don't have Eagle Brand milk, you can substitute it with a mixture of sweetened condensed milk and a bit of water to reach the desired consistency. Alternatively, you can use homemade sweetened condensed milk for a fresher taste, but the original will yield the best results.
Can I add other ingredients to the Hello Dollies?
Certainly! Feel free to get creative by adding dried fruits like raisins or cranberries, or even a sprinkle of sea salt on top for contrast. However, keep in mind that this may alter the texture slightly. Customizing the recipe allows you to make it uniquely your own.
