1/3 cup light corn syrup
1 tablespoon vanilla extract

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Spread 2 cups of the coconut on a baking sheet and place in the preheated oven for 5 to 7 minutes, or until lightly toasted. Toss the coconut once or twice during backing to ensure even browning. Be careful not to let it burn. Transfer the coconut to a bowl to cool completely.

Peanut Butter Hot Fudge Sauce

Melt about 6 oz of chocolate or chocolate chips in it and stir in 1/4 cup or more of peanut butter.

 
I make this a lot- and add a seventh layer-peanut butter chips or white choc chips

on top of the chocolate chips. An old family favorite for years. We call them Seven Layer Bars.

 
Thanks Charlie! I sit here with my mouth watering and nothing but a bowl of Wheaties to eat!

What a let down! I NEED to make these soon.....

 
Dip small squares of bread in condensed milk, roll in coconut and toast in moderate oven till ...

lightly browned. A depression era recipe.

 
I've used butterscotch chips too but personally don't like the "fake" aftertaste.

This recipe is so forgiving that you could dump almost anything in it and the results would be delicious. I once used crushed chocolate cookies for crust, have also used shortbread dough, baked it halfway then layered the rest on. Another time I used mac nuts instead of walnuts (have used pistachios, pecans, hazelnuts too), used two kinds of chocolate chips, well, I have abused this recipe in all directions and each time it comes out of the oven so tempting nobody can resist.

 
Me too! Are there good and bad butterscotch chips? Or are they all bad?

I think I've tried the Nestle's ones, as well as the Guittard, but didn't like either.

I'm always tempted to try the ones from King Arthur flour, but don't want to be disappointed.....

 
Me 3. The first time was in oatmeal cookies and I thought "This is brilliant!" The next time

was 25 years later added to oatmeal cookies and I thought "This is disgusting!"

Either the chips changed dramatically over that time or my taste buds changed dramatically.
