Gluten Free 7 Layer Bars

This bars are one of my favorites during the holiday season.  I was lucky enough to find a box of gluten free graham cracker crumbs at the store.  If not there are some gluten free graham cracker recipes online.  Gluten Free on a Shoestring has the best recipe for gluten free graham crackers that I have tried. 

Gluten Free 7 Layer Bars
1 1/2-2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1 stick of butter, melted
1 cup chocolate chips
1 cup butterscotch chips (please check the ingredients!! Some butterscotch chips are not gf)
1 cup pecans, chopped
1 1/3 cup of coconut
1 can (14 oz) sweet condensed milk

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Mix melted butter and graham cracker crumbs together.  Press crumb mixture into a 13x9 pan.  Pour half of the condensed milk onto the first layer. Mix the chips, nuts, and coconut together in a bowl.  Pat the chip mix with a hand or fork onto the crumbs and milk layers. Top with rest of the condensed milk.  Bake in oven for 30 minutes or until golden.  Let cool before cutting. 

My children could not wait to dig into the bars so we have just been spooning the bars out.  
 

Holiday cooking gluten free

It has been awhile since I posted.  I will finally be finished with school and I could not be happier to get a bachelor degree.  Gluten free has been new for me this year, even though my in-laws did have gluten free items.  Through my personal experience, the best thing to do is try out recipes before using them! For the holidays, I have been working on cookies, pies, and stuffing.  Over the next month, I will be posting some holiday foods and links to other blogs/sites that have things that I have tried.
