Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups gluten-free graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 cup gluten-free semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup shredded coconut
  • 1 cup chopped nuts (e.g., pecans, walnuts)

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan and set aside.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the gluten-free graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated with butter.
  3. Press the crumb mixture into the bottom of the prepared baking pan, creating an even layer.
  4. Pour the sweetened condensed milk evenly over the graham cracker crust.
  5. Sprinkle the chocolate chips, shredded coconut, and chopped nuts evenly over the condensed milk layer, in that order.
  6. Using the back of a spoon, gently press down on the toppings to ensure they adhere to the condensed milk.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the middle is set.
  8. Remove from the oven and let the Hello Dolly squares cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.
  9. Serve and enjoy!
