Making and eating Hello Dolly bars have been a tradition in our family for a long time. Every Christmas we always have to make these.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
- ½ cup butter, melted
- 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 ½ cups semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup chopped walnuts
- 1 cup shredded coconut
- ½ cup white chocolate chips
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
Step 2
Mix graham cracker crumbs and melted butter together in a bowl until evenly moistened; press into the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish.
Step 3
Pour 1/2 of the can of sweetened condensed milk over the graham cracker crust. Sprinkle semisweet chocolate chips, walnuts, coconut, and white chocolate chips over the graham cracker crust; gently press chocolate, nuts, and coconuts into the crust. Drizzle remaining 1/2 can of condensed milk over the top.
Step 4
Bake in the preheated oven until fragrant and coconut is golden, 25 to 30 minutes. Cool completely before cutting into squares.

I toss the butter in the 9×13 pan while the oven is preheating to melt, evenly sprinkle the graham cracker crumbs over the melted butter, add the remaining ingredients and then evenly pour the can sweetened condensed milk over the entire pan.

Making “Hello Dolly” bars has also been a family tradition of ours. My mom got the recipe (in 1950’s) from one of her sisters. Basically the same….graham cracker/butter crust baked for 10 minutes. Then layer in this order…over hot crust 1 cup semi sweet choc chips, 1 cup butterscotch chips, 1 cup coconut, 1 cup chopped walnuts TOPPED by drizzling an entire can of condensed milk then back in the oven approx 25 min. The “key” to this is to cover the pan with aluminum foil immediately after removing from oven, and let cool overnight with foil still on.

Delicious! You can play around with the toppings to suit your tastes. I like dark chocolate, coconut, and almonds. Next time I make these, which will be soon since they’re so easy, I’ll include the white chocolate chips as well. Perfect for parties.

This is my famil’ s favorite treat
-
These are quick, easy, sweet and tasty – which is exactly what I was looking for when my son told me at 7 p.m. that he needed to bring a food item for his Spanish class the next day! I had all of the ingredients for this on-hand, and threw these together in no time at all. My Mom used to make these, except the condensed milk was just drizzled on top (not on the bottom crust). I actually really liked this method better, as the bottom crust gets kind of chewy and toffee-like, rather than crumbly like my Mom’s did.
-
Easy peasy Dolly squeezy!
Easy recipe. You can use different combinations.
Thanks!
-
I made this exactly like the recipe says. I didn’t like the bottom portion, it was making so much of a mess. It had too much chocolate chips for my taste. I was like eating straight up sugar with a crumbly graham cracker crust falling all over the place.
-
These are perfect, I use actual graham wafers and chop them up in the food processor, one sleeve works. I also use one cup of white chocolate chips, but that is the only change
-
Oh my word! So addictive! I used butterscotch chips instead of white chocolate. Will definitely make again. I’ll try white chocolate chips next time.
-
This is an excellent recipe and received rave reviews. I had to add a little more graham wafer crumbs(maybe 1/4 cup) to the 1/2 cup of melted butter as it seemed too moist with just 1 1/2 cups of the crumbs. Otherwise it was a keeper
-
Not enough graham cracker for the amount of butter. Soupy mess and very thin…..
-
This is an old family recipe too…? It is simply delicious..
-
no changes.. they were loved by all!

DELICIOUS ……..!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No…I certainly will make it again!

This recipe has been part of my Christmas baking repertoire for two years now, and has earned permanent favourite status! It?s easy, delicious, festive, and has a good yield. Everyone loves them. I make the recipe exactly as described. Thanks for sharing!

So good, I?ve already made it twice. Dubbed them COVID bars. No adjustment needed for high altitude (8,000 ft). Only dishes besides the baking dish are a rubber spatula and measuring scoop. Melt the butter right in the baking dish while the oven preheats, stir in the crumbs (no mess if you roll the crackers in a plastic bag), add toppings. Delicious.
-
I made this and substituted pecans for the walnuts and used snickers morsels in addition to the chocolate chip morsels. It came out very tasty!
-
We’ve made this in the past, and have never been disappointed. It’s fun to improvise with other additional toppings – butterscotch chips, pretzel pieces and toffee crumbles have worked well. Easy and fun for kids to participate as well.
One caveat with this recipe – If you choose a 9×13 pan as suggested, you will need to add about 50% more graham crackers and butter in order to cover the entire bottom of the pan. Otherwise, just use a smaller pan, say 11 x 7.
-
i used a 9×13 pan and melted the stick of butter in that first.

I love Hello Dollys! My mom made them for years but instead of graham cracker crumbs, she used lightly crushed corn flakes. The corn flakes are less sweet than the graham cracker crumbs, but have a slight saltiness that complements the richness of the other ingredients and give the bars a little crunch. So yummy!
-
I love these! My grandma used to make them every year for Christmas, but she used butterscotch chips instead of the white chocolate chips, so that?s what I do too.
-
Amazing ??
-
I do this exact thing except I switch out the white chocolate for butterscotch chips and add sweet and spicy candied pecans instead of walnuts !! So good !
-
Wish I?d read the reviews and changed this up a bit. I heartily agree that the Graham cracker crust should be baked first. These didn?t set up for me and are really messy. Made it for Super Bowl tomorrow and so disappointed.
-
Delicious! I usually use Ritz crackers instead of graham crackers, as that’s what’s more likely to be in my cupboard. I use about half the butter called for with the crackers.
-
I use pumpkin seeds and pistachios
