7 Layer Bar Coconut Macaroons – loaded with milk chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, and pecans. The best make ahead dessert ever.
Growing up, we always used to get a magic bar whenever we went shopping at Nordstrom.
The depth of flavor and layers of textures are out of this world.
But homemade 7 layer bars are so difficult and time consuming. The cooling time is also way longer than you want it to be. And it’s one of those recipes that requires multiple recipes to make the single recipe.
So I combined two treats I love: 7 layer bars and coconut macaroons. I added everything in a layer bar to my favorite coconut macaroon base recipe.
In this new recipe, all you have to do is combine everything in a bowl and scoop it out onto a baking sheet. Making it hassel free without sacrificing any of the flavor or texture I love!
And they are so easy Griffin and my dad can make them!
These are also great because it’s like a gluten free 7 layer bar!
And you can make them ahead of time. These are great even when they are one day old!
My favorite combo is the one in the recipe card. Milk chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, and pecans.
But I have also tried milk chocolate chips, peanut butter chips, and toffee chips. And it is also great!
Pretzel M&M hugs are great to make ahead. And you kind of need to make these ahead because the chocolate needs time to harden again.
Cookies and cream pretzels are amazing too!!!
You can also make these ice cream sandwiches ahead of time!
