Hello Dolly Bars Recipe
If you like sweet treats – well, these Hello Dolly Bars are it. My MIL makes them for mu husband and ships him a tin for the holidays every year. He is thrilled! If he had his way, they would be a weekly shipment. SMH One thing Hubby definitely has is a sweet tooth.
When my Grandmother made them she cut them into bite sized pieces. I am not sure if that was good or bad. Good in that we could have a small taste, bad in that they were so small we could quickly lose track of how many we ate.
But they tasted soooooo good!
Tips and variations for making these Hello Dolly bars:
● Smooth out the sweetened condensed milk to the edges. That will help “stick” all the ingredients together.
● My MIL suggested adding the sweetened condensed milk last instead of first… so it acted as a glue.
● Use mini chips. They will melt better.

I make this but my recipe is called magic cookie bars. Also there are no eggs in mine and I do not see them in your instructions. Is that a typo Ann?
Ann says
Thank Shell!
I work off templates and sometimes an ingredient doesn’t get deleted. I swear I need a proof-reader.
