Hello Dolly Bars are a classic American dessert, also known as Magic Bars or Seven-Layer Bars, with a history dating back to the 1960s. These bars are sweet, sticky, and loaded with flavor, making them a favorite at potlucks, bake sales, and family gatherings. The combination of crunchy graham cracker crust, chewy coconut, velvety chocolate, and crunchy nuts make for a truly decadent dessert experience.

Instructions

1.	Preheat the oven to 350°F (176C).
2.	Melt the butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Combine the melted butter, cinnamon, and graham cracker crumbs and mix well. Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9 x 13 inch baking pan.
3.	Sprinkle the chopped nuts on top of the crust, followed by the chocolate chips and then the coconut.
4.	Pour the sweetened condensed milk evenly over the top of the coconut layer. Swirl the milk with a knife to ensure it is evenly distributed.
5.	Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the top is golden brown. Remove from oven and let cool completely before cutting into bars. Enjoy!
