yesterday evening camden came home from work complaining that his fat cells were hungry (’cause he has so many. . . not) and we needed to make something sweet pronto! i wasn’t much in the mood for baking so i suggested something store bought although my suggestion sounded more like a whine out of lucy ricardo “but ricky!{whine}”. camden however informed me this just would not do because he needed a home made delicious treat because i never cook delicious treats anymore, at least not for a really long time. to be fair he was right that it had been some time since i had done anything that involved the kitchen, besides heating up some leftover chinese. i agreed on making something but what exactly did mr. charlesworth want, something easy i hoped. he suggested hello dollies and i was sold. but of course hello dollies, the five layer bar, thou who art most delicious, we will make you. so at 9:00 at night we turned on america’s next top model, camden did his pushups and i made hello dollies and included the recipe below.
a hello dolly recipe in un exact terms
:: preheat the oven to 325 degrees.
:: start with about two cups of graham cracker crumbs and add about 1/3 – 1/2 stick of butter, melt in microwave until butter is melted.
:: mix the crumbs and butter together then dump into an 8×11 glass pan. (you may need to make more if the bottom of pan is not completely covered with the graham butter mixture.
:: spread the mixture evenly over the bottom of the pan and press firmly until it forms a crust.
:: take a 14oz can of sweetened condensed milk and pour it until the entire crust is covered.
:: sprinkle on top: chopped walnuts, semi sweet chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, and shredded coconut.
:: bake for about twenty minutes (i would check after 10-15 minutes to be safe). take them out when the coconut has turned slightly golden.
:: let cool and serve!
-have a beautiful weekend everyone!
