Death by Chocolate 7-Layer Bars

Yield: 24 Bars (9X13-inch pan)

Prep Time: 15

Cook Time: 30

Total Time: 45

Ingredients

Crust:

2 ¼ cup chocolate cookie crumbs, about a 10 ounce package of chocolate cookies or wafers
8 tablespoons (113 g) salted butter, melted
¼ teaspoon vanilla extract

Layers:

1 cup (170 g) milk, semisweet or bittersweet chocolate chips
½ cup toffee bits
½ cup (85 g) white chocolate chips
½ cup (43 g) sweetened shredded coconut
½ cup Nutella
1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 9X13-inch aluminum or glass pan with foil and lightly grease with cooking spray.
In a bowl, toss together the cookie crumbs, butter and vanilla until the mixture is combined. Press it evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan (the bottom of a dry measuring cup can really help get the crumbs into an even layer).
Sprinkle the chocolate chips over the crust followed by the toffee bits, white chocolate chips and coconut.
Spoon teaspoonfuls of the Nutella in little dollops over the bars (if you want more of a drizzle, warm the Nutella slightly in the microwave).
Drizzle the sweetened condensed milk back and forth evenly over the bars.
Bake the bars for 25-30 minutes until the edges are golden.
Let the bars cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares. These are amazing at room temperature or chilled.

Notes

For the Chocolate Crumbs: I've used everything from chocolate Teddy Grahams to chocolate graham crackers to those thin, chocolate wafers; basically any crisp, chocolate cracker will work.
