Hello Dolly Bars – crushed graham crackers, flaked coconut, and milk chocolate chips make these gooey bars positively scrumptious; they’re a wicked good chocolatey treat!

Today I am sharing Hello Dolly Bars. My Grandma used to make this recipe for the family. As a kid, I loved Hello Dolly Bars despite the fact that I had no idea what was in them, how to make them, or why they were called Hello Dollies. As an adult, I love the ooey-gooey goodness of Hello Dolly Bars, but now I know what is in them and how to make them. I still have no idea why they are called Hello Dollies.
Hello Dolly Bars are the ONLY recipe handed down to me. I do not come from a family of bakers. That being said, I am super stoked to be sharing this recipe with YOU!
Hello Dolly Bars are made up of melted butter, crushed graham crackers, coconut flakes, chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk; that’s it. If you’re feeling particularly snazzy, which I usually am, you can add nuts. I added chopped walnuts, but chopped pecans would be a treat too!
Hello Dolly Bars are SO easy! They're five-ingredient easy and no mixer needed! There are no tricks here, just beyond delicious treats! I know YOU want to bake and EAT these easy-peasy chocolate-y treats!! I do…and did!
Oh, and for all you coconut haters (like my hubby), you’ll love these too! My hubby did!
Make your taste buds jump for joy with these chewy-gooey-chocolate-y Hello Dolly Bars! Sweet!

What brand or type of graham crackers should I use? I see some are cinnamon and some are honey. I’ve never used it before so I’m not sure
