Seven-layer bars

Seven Layer Bars, also known as "Seven Layer Bars" or "Magic Bars" in some Latin American countries, are a popular dessert with a delicious and crunchy combination of different ingredients. This recipe has its roots in American cuisine, and its name comes from the seven characteristic layers it contains: cookie crumbs, coconut, two types of chips (chocolate and caramel), nuts, condensed milk, and butter.
