Description

These Five Layer Bars are a classic no-bake-style dessert that comes together with minimal effort but maximum flavor. A buttery graham cracker crust forms the base, followed by a layer of rich cocoa and sweetened condensed milk. Topped with semi-sweet chocolate chips, plump raisins, and crunchy nuts, these bars offer a delightful contrast of textures. The flavors meld together during a resting period, resulting in a dense, fudgy treat that is both nostalgic and satisfying. Perfect for potlucks, parties, or a sweet weekend snack, this recipe is a crowd-pleaser that disappears quickly. Simple ingredients create a complex, indulgent experience that feels homemade and comforting.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350&# 194;°F (175ðC).
  2. Place butter in a 13x9x2-inch baking pan and heat in the oven until melted. Remove pan from oven.
  3. In a small bowl, stir together graham cracker crumbs, cocoa, and sugar.
  4. Sprinkle the crumb mixture evenly over the melted butter in the pan.
  5. Pour sweetened condensed milk evenly over the crumb mixture.
  6. Sprinkle chocolate chips and raisins evenly over the milk.
  7. Sprinkle chopped nuts on top and press down firmly with a spatula to ensure layers adhere.
  8. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the edges are lightly browned and the center is set.
  9. Cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
  10. Cover tightly with foil and let stand at room temperature for 6 to 8 hours to allow flavors to meld and bars to firm up.
  11. Cut into bars and serve.
