Light Recipe : Dolly Bars

I love my sweets the same as the next sweet lover but I know that they are not all good for me or my health. The best thing is when I find recipes like this where I can enjoy and not worrying about my health. The secret is eat within portions

1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs (about 9 cookie sheets)

2 tablespoons butter, melted

1 tablespoon water

1/3 cup semisweet chocolate chips

1/3 cup butterscotch morsels

2/3 cup flaked sweetened coconut

1/4 cup chopped pecans, toasted

1 (15-ounce) can fat-free sweetened condensed milk

Preheat oven to 350°. Line the bottom and sides of a 9-inch square baking pan with parchment paper; cut off excess parchment paper around top edge of pan. Place crumbs in a medium bowl. Drizzle with butter and 1 tablespoon water; toss with a fork until moist. Gently pat mixture into an even layer in pan (do not press firmly). Sprinkle chips and morsels over crumb mixture. Top evenly with coconut and pecans. Drizzle milk evenly over top. Bake at 350° for 25 minutes or until lightly browned and bubbly around edges. Cool completely on wire rack.

Note:

They can create a sticky mess in the pan, so it's crucial to line it with parchment paper. Because the milk needs to seep into the graham cracker crumbs, don't pack the crumbs too tightly in the bottom of the pan.
