CHEF JEFF'S 7-LAYER BAR
"It's the ultimate comfort dessert; people rave about my 7-Layer Bar," says personal chef and caterer Jeff Blumsack of St. Augustine, Florida, whose primary focus is comfort food meals clients take home in a slow cooker. "I use this recipe for parties and it's always gobbled up off the dessert trays in two minutes and I also sell it to my Crockpot customers." The recipe has been passed from Blumsack's grandmother to his mother and now to him. "It's simple and decadent," he says.

Steps:

Making sure to scatter each evenly, add chocolate bits, then butterscotch bits, walnut pieces and sweet coconut flakes. Spread sweetened condensed milk evenly over the top. In preheated 375-degree F oven place pan on center rack for 25 minutes. Let cool for one hour and cut into 2" x 2" squares.
SEVEN LAYERS OF HEAVEN BARS
Yes, there are only six ingredients...the seventh is supposed to be love or some nonsense like that. Folksy comments aside, these are freakishly tasty. My old recipe was too sweet for my liking, so I adjusted it to this format while retaining the same amazing taste. Unsweetened flaked coconut can be found in the bulk foods section of many natural foods and regular grocery stores. If you cannot find it, sweetened flaked coconut is an acceptable substitute, though it will make your bars substantially sweeter (and perhaps necessitate you to cut them smaller so they're not too rich).

Steps:
- Line a 9"x13" pan with aluminum foil, leaving about 2" of extra foil hanging over 9" edges of pan. Preheat your oven to 350°F.
- Melt the butter in a bowl in the microwave or on stovetop in a pot, and pour over foil. Spread graham cracker crumbs evenly over butter, mixing together with your hands. Press this crust into the base of the pan.
- Mix together sweetened condensed milk and coconut, and dollop mixture over crumb crust layer. Spread gently with the back of a spoon into an even layer.
- Sprinkle chocolate chips evenly over top, followed by walnuts in the same manner.
- Bake 20-25 min., or until coconut begins to brown around the edges.
- Remove from oven and allow to cool completely in pan. Once cooled, remove from pan by grabbing the foil that's sticking out on each side, and set on cutting board. Slice into 35 bars (That's 7 on the 13" side, and 5 on the 9".) If you want to make this slicing process easier, refrigerate or freeze bars until they are a little firmer before cutting.

Tips:
- Use fresh cranberries. Fresh cranberries have a brighter flavor and hold their shape better than frozen cranberries.
- Don't overcook the cranberries. Overcooked cranberries will become mushy and lose their tartness.
- Use a sharp knife to cut the bars. A sharp knife will give you clean, even cuts.
- Chill the bars before serving. This will help them set and make them easier to cut.
- Store the bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They will keep for up to 3 days.
Conclusion:
Seven-layer cranberry bars are a delicious and festive treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With their sweet and tart flavor, these bars are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
