How do you do? Common sense for common folk ... but just because you're common doesn't mean you have to be ordinary.

My favorite recipe Mom used to make


My Mom called them "Hello Dollys" but today they're more commonly referred to as "7-Layer Bars."
No matter what you call them they are the most divine, sweet, crunchy, chewy, sumptious dessert ever! And to think, only about 3 trillion calories per bar!

INGREDIENTS:
1/2 cup butter
1 cup graham cracker crumbs
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1 cup butterscotch chips
1 cup coconut
1 cup chopped walnuts (some prefer pecans)
1 can (15 ounces) sweetened condensed milk

PREP:
Melt the butter and mix with graham cracker crumbs. Pat the crumb mixture into a 9-x13-inch baking pan. Sprinkle the remaining ingredients over the crumbs in this order: choc chips, butterscotch chips, walnuts then coconut. Pour the can of sweetened condensed milk over all but don't stir.
Bake at 350° for about 25 minutes.
Cool and cut into bars.
Eat three or four, get sick, throw up, eat some more!
