I've never heard of a millionaire bar. I'm intrigued.

[Caroline923]

They area a layered bar - most have either a graham cracker or shorbread crust - then evaporated milk and coconut and nuts and chocolate chips - with variations on thte add ins... made in a 9-13 pan..

We call those 7-layer cookies. Though I'm nut sure what the 7 layers are.

Graham Cracker Crumbs

Melted Butter

Coconut

Walnuts/Pecans

Chocolate Chips

Coconut

Evaporated Milk

(That's 7. I guess the butter is it's own layer even though I mix it with the crumbs.)

[MGLloyd]

I agree with Pam. Up here in the upper left hand corner of the United States, we also call them seven-layer bars and I have never heard them referred to as millionaire bars. Interesting regional variation on the name.

The cafe I used to work at had them, but they were called magic bars. They also had raisins in them, which might be the 7th layer if you're counting.

[Darcie B]

We used butterscotch chips in addition to the chocolate chips which would make another layer.

I wonder how they would be if you took the scm and made it into dulce le leche...

[Caroline923]

dulce du leche - LIKE that - good touch for those of us in Texas

Does millionaire shortbread count? I've never had it here in the states, but it was a favorite of mine when I lived in Scotland for a bit.

I can't vouch for the recipe, but if you scroll down to the middle of the page there's a decent pic of what they look like.

this is also what i know as millionaire's shortbread...one of my faves!

[Blanche Davidian]

In high school, my friends called them "dung bars" because the chocolate was still very melty in the ones they served in the school cafeteria.

[Kerry Beal]

I know these as 'Hello Dolly' squares, (or 'Hello Calorie' squares). The wife of one of my favorite patients when I was a resident used to bring these every time they came for an appointment.

Yep, 7 Layer Bars where I come from too, although this might be a more fitting name. Delicious none-the-less.

I'm SO happy to hear that someone else calls them "Hello Dollies"!

[etalanian]

We call them Hello Dolly cookies in our house, too.

butter

grahams

coconut

walnuts

SCM

chips

6 layers here, not 7. But really popular.

I appreciate that nobody pointed out that coconut is the same thing no matter how many times I list it and I have, in fact, only 6 layer.

What's missing that makes it 7-layer?

[DiH]

Pam R, I believe the seventh layer would be butterscotch chips.

While googling Seven Layer Bars, this interesting twist came up.

I think I've had these as "Outrageous Cookie Bars". They were a recipe on one of the Nestle Tollhouse Chips bags, or something.

I want to make millionarie shortbread( NOT 7 layer bars or Hello Dollies).

The shortbread has a layer of caramel and choc. on a shortbread base.

Anyone have a good recipe?

I have a huge bag of caramels I'd like to use up.

Check out the link Tavogels provided upthread--looks pretty good to me, but you won't be using any caramels. Possibly you could melt the caramels, using a bit of cream or water if necessary, and just pour over for the shortbread base.

OK. No doubt I'll feel silly when I get the answer, but what is 'SCM'. I tried on Google, but got nothing useful.

[baroness]

scm = sweetened condensed milk

Here's one I've made before, really good. By way of Gail Gand. But you make caramel rather than use premade caramels:

I happened to have a box of that brownie mix on hand, and made the linked recipe today. They came out so rich and gooey, I decided to cut them into 1" squares, and pack them into my Christmas candy gift tins. I made them years ago with graham cracker crumbs, as a crust and once with crushed Oreos, but these are the best. Heavy, though, good for one bite.
