Recipe: 7 Layer Magic Bars

20140204-101442.jpg

I love when a new recipe just falls into my lap, especially one as delicious as this. My friend Sierra, who is a standard fixture in my home and life, made this for me the other day. It was incredible. I was fighting people for the last bite. This is a crazy simple dessert, but crazy delicious. Coconut, butterscotch, condensed milk (The Russians favorite), nuts, and a touch of chocolate combine for a variety of flavors and textures. Super sweet but addicting. I urge everyone to try it.

Thanks, Sierra. Now I’m never gonna be the same again. She was even nice enough to send along the instructions on how to make these delicious bars her way.
