Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Hello Dolly Bars
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 13x9-inch baking pan with aluminum foil. Grease the foil to prevent sticking.
  2. Combine graham cracker crumbs, melted salted butter, and granulated sugar in a medium bowl. Press the mixture into the bottom of the pan to form the crust and bake for 8 minutes.
  3. Remove the crust and evenly sprinkle half of the semi-sweet chocolate chips, pecans, and sweetened coconut over the crust. Top with the remaining chocolate chips.
  4. Drizzle the sweetened condensed milk evenly over the layered ingredients to bind them together.
  5. Bake for an additional 25-30 minutes until the top is golden and bubbly.
  6. Cool bars in the pan until just warm, then lift out using foil edges and cool completely on a cutting board before slicing into squares.
