This delightful salad will liven up a straightforward supper with its crunchy and revitalizing combination of jicama and vibrant fresh vegetables. Jicama is an apple-and-raw-potato-flavored vegetable that is crisp and slightly juicy. It is indigenous to Mexico, and Asian cuisine frequently uses it. To me, it’s just extremely yummy!

The point of the butter and Graham cracker crumbs is to make a crust. Melt butter in pan, then press in crumbs. The rest of the ingredients are layered, not mixed, in this order – coconut, chocolate chips, nuts, butterscotch chips, then condensed milk poured over all. Bake and enjoy.
Most delicious ever!
I don’t know who is rating this so highly because if made as stated, it does not work. I bought gluten free graham cracker crumbs (i.e. expensive), made it as stated then realized something was wrong and then read the reviews and recalled the need for the crumbs in the bottom of the pan with butter pressed down then the other ingredients layered and then sweetened condensed milk. As is, since everything was already combined I added sweetened condensed milk to the mixture, baked it and prayed for the best. Do they taste okay, yes BUT they are a gloppy mess.
I haven’t made these in years because they were so sweet. I used unsweetened coconut and dark chocolate chips which made them less sweet and perfect!
just made this and instead of sweet condense milk I used Splenda with it and I put the crumbs first then coconut then chocolate chip then poured the condensed milk over it and spreaded it around and baked for 30min. oh and as I heated up the condensed milk I added some cinnamon
Followed it like it is and they were amazing!
I followed a few others suggestions and used the graham crackers to make a crust and then poured the other ingredients on top. However next time I will cook the crust for a bit before adding the other ingredients, the whole thing turned out pretty soft and gooey and wouldn’t come apart like squares should. They were delicious but you definitely had to eat them out of the pan!
This was a traditional cookie we made for Christmas. My mother’s recipe called for 6 oz. butterscotch chips and 6 oz. semi sweet chocolate chips instead of the 1 cup semi sweet chips in this recipe.
very good, will make again
I did as others suggested and made a graham cracker crust. I mixed in a little condensed milk with the other dry ingredients just to get it to hold together well before cooking. I suggest 20 minutes rather than 25-30. They are tasty, but a bit overdone.
These bars will fill any sweet tooth. I made some changes that added to the flavor 🙂 I didnt have enough graham cracker crumbs and so i ended up using some stale apple cinnamon cookies crushed up because they had the same consistency as the graham cracker crumbs. I pressed the crumb crust into the pan before baking rather than mixing all of the ingredients together initially. To the top of the graham/butter mixture, i added a cinnamon sugar mix and it was amazing combined with the coconut.
I have used this recipe for years. What I do different is drizzle the butter right on the top of the graham cracker crust to hold the crust together. I think it is a must! I use pecans unstead of walnuts. Both are great. Fantastic recipe
This is a family request each Christmas Eve. I do mix the butter and the graham crackers and press it to form the crust.
I would definitely recommend, as others have, making the graham cracker crust and pressing it into the bottom first. Otherwise, easy, gooey, sweet, and yummy!!
A really great and easy bar cookie for those times when you need something really rich and indulgent!
I love these! My mom has been making these at Christmas time all my life! My fave! However, we mix the grahm crackers with the butter and then press them into a 9×13 pan. Then layer the ingredients instead of mixing them all. First the Choco chips, nuts, coconut, and then drizzle the condensed milk.
Good, but definitely holds together better if you mix butter and graham cracker crumbs together and press in dish first, then top with other ingredients.
They tasted good but didn’t hold together at all. Most Hello Dolly cookie recipes add the butter to the graham cracker crumbs only and then sprinkle the other ingredients on top. I’ve never had this problem with those cookies falling apart. We had to eat all the crumbs with a spoon.
Really enjoy this one! thanks so much!! Going to be a big hit for Christmas!
Good easy recipe.
Sooo rich and good. Used an 8 x 8 pan, and fat free sweetened condensed milk–turned out very well!
