Sorry it has been so long since i last posted. Things got pretty busy with school and just life in general. I finally took pictures of the 7 Layer Candy. I only took some of the end result. When i am cooking i don't think about pictures. It really doesn't help that i am not much of a picture taker....
Anyways here are the pictures :)
Don't they look delicious? Whenever i make these everyone loves them and at least one person asks for the recipe. The only criticisms i have ever gotten were either from someone who didn't like coconut and said it would be better without, or that it was to rich to eat very much of, which is not a problem that i have :)
The top one gives a good view of the golden brown top of the candy, and the bottom zooms in on the side view to show all of the chocolate chip layers melted together. I have found that lately i have been making the combined chip layers really thick, but doing a bare minimum for the graham crackers. That's what great about this recipe, you can mix it up all you like, and it always turns out wonderful.
Once again the seven layers are:
Butter
Graham Cracker crumbs
Chocolate chips
White chocolate chips
Butterscotch chocolate chips
Shredded coconut
and finally
Sweet and Condensed milk.
I think i previously suggested melting butter for the first layer, but if you have softened butter for spreading on toast and such, you can use can use a rubber spatula to spread it in that state in stead of melted. The rubber spatula is then great to press in the graham cracker crumbs (the only layer that needs this). It is mostly to flatten and push the crumbs together so that along with the butter it keeps them from getting to crumbly.
