Magic Coconut Seven Layer Bars

​I grew up eating "7 layer bars" from bake sales, sleepovers and soccer tournaments. 

​This vegan version is nearly identical to the version using condensed milk and butterscotch.

The only difference: Condensed Coconut milk is substituted for Condensed Milk. 

• Condensed coconut milk still has the same sweet flavor and gooey consistency. 
• If you cannot find a store that stocks condensed coconut milk you can make your own using coconut milk and coconut palm sugar. 

Also, I did not include butterscotch since I could not find a vegan butterscotch replacement.

Nature's Charm Condensed Coconut Milk

Ingredients:

• 1 can (100g/11.25 oz) ~ 1 cup of condensed coconut milk
• 9 pieces ( 1 sleeve) of graham crackers
• 5 tbsp melted coconut oil
• 1 Tbsp + 1 Tsp water
• pinch of salt
• 1 cup chopped walnuts
• 1/2 cup vegan chocolate chips
• 1/2 cup desiccated coconut

Directions:

• Preheat the oven to 325°F/160°C, Bake for 25 minutes
• Use a food processor to blend the graham crackers into a sand like consistency.
  • (I do not have a food processor, so I used a ziplock bag and a rolling pin. It essentially works the same way.)
• Melt the coconut oil and add this to the graham crackers, water and salt. Mix together in a large bowl and prepare a baking sheet (8x8 or 8x11) with parchment paper.
• Spread the mixture evenly across the bottom and use the bottom of a pint glass to press down the crust.
• Chop the walnuts and add this layer on top, followed by the chocolate chips and desiccated coconut. 
• Drizzle the condensed coconut milk across the top. Use a spatula to distribute the coconut milk equally.
