Movie Night and Hello Dollys

Last night was movie night.  It's one of my very favorite nights I spend with my family.  We turn off all the lights, ignore the phone, hunker down on the couch downstairs and enjoy a movie.  We always have popcorn and a treat and it's just a great time.  We watched Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix last night.  Husband just finished reading the book to the kids and we always watch the movie after they are done.  The treat that we decided on is one of my all time childhood favorites.  They are called Hello Dollys and they are divine!  Graham cracker, butter, chocolate, what's not to love?  Here's the recipe.  You can cut it in half for a 9x13 pan, however they are always devoured and they store great so why not go for the big half sheet!  Enjoy.




Hello Dollys

30 graham crackers, crushed finely
2 sticks butter, melted
3/4 cup sugar
1 bag semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 can sweetend and condensed milk

Combine graham crackers, butter and sugar until well combined.  Press into half sheet pan and bake for 10 mins at 375.  Take out of the oven and sprinkle on the chips and pour the condensed milk all over.  Put back in the oven for another 6-8 minutes or until the milk starts to bubble and brown.  Allow to cool before cutting into squares. 

*you can also mix it up!  Add walnuts, use butterscotch or peanut butter chips, or a combo of your choice!

  1. We make the same thing over here, only we add a coconut layer. You are only the second person in many years that I have found that also calls them Hello Dolly bars. I wonder where that name came from as the original name and recipe is called Magic Cookie Bars from the Pillsbury Bake -off contest years and years ago.
