My family really likes 7 layer bars, and I wanted to make some, only I didn't have graham cracker crumbs. As I was looking in the pantry for a graham cracker substitute, I saw a box of brownie mix and light bulbs went off... Try these, they are truly amazing!

Blue Ribbon Recipe

Chocolate, butterscotch, walnuts, and coconut are delicious separately. Combine them in a layered bar and you have one amazing brownie. The butterscotch chips give the brownies a buttery, toffee flavor. On top is toasted coconut that's sweet, crunchy, and chewy. We loved the crunch of the chopped walnuts. Get your glass of milk ready!

How To Make diane's amazing brownies

Test Kitchen Tips
We added parchment paper to the bottom of the baking dish for easy removal.
  • Prepare brownie mix according to package directions.

    Prepare brownie mix according to the box instructions.
  • Pour batter into a greased 9x13 pan.
    2
    Pour batter into a greased 9x13 pan.
  • Bake as directed, except bake 5 minutes less.
    3
    Bake as directed in a 9x13 pan, but take it out of the oven 5 minutes before it's done.
  • Drizzle condensed milk over the brownies.
    4
    Immediately drizzle the sweetened condensed milk on top of the brownies.
  • Sprinkle butterscotch chips and chocolate chips.
    5
    Then sprinkle the chocolate chips and butterscotch chips.
  • Sprinkle nuts and coconut.
    6
    Sprinkle the nuts and coconut last because they toast nicely in the oven.
  • Bake for an additional 5 - 10 minutes.
    7
    Bake for an additional 5-10 minutes or until the coconut is browning and the toppings are bubbly.
  • Cool slightly and cut into squares.

    Set out to cool. While still warm, with a knife sprayed with Pam cut into squares. Then you get a big glass of milk and dig in!
