hello dolly

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 8x11 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!
