Seven Layer Bars With Gingerbread Crust

• FOR THE GINGERBREAD CRUST
• 2 cups All-purpose Flour
• 1/2 cups Graham Cracker Crumbs
• 3/4 teaspoons Baking Powder
• 1/4 teaspoons Salt
• 3 teaspoons Ground Ginger
• 2 teaspoons Ground Cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon Ground Cloves
• 1/2 teaspoons Ground Nutmeg
• 1 cup Unsalted Butter, Softened To Room Temperature
• 1-1/2 cup Brown Sugar
• 2 whole Large Eggs
• 1 Tablespoon Vanilla Extract
• 1/2 cups Molasses
• FOR THE LAYERS:
• 1-1/2 cup Butterscotch Chips
• 1-1/2 cup White Chocolate Chips
• 1-1/2 cup Dark Chocolate Chips
• 1-1/4 cup Shredded Coconut
• 3/4 cups Chopped Pecans
• 3/4 cups Chopped Walnuts
• 16 ounces, fluid Sweetened, Condensed Milk

1. Preheat your oven to 350 F and line a buttered 9x13-inch baking dish with parchment paper (leaving enough paper overhang so that it's easy to pull out the bars when done). Set aside.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, graham cracker crumbs, baking powder, salt, ginger, cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg. Set aside.
3. In the bowl of your stand mixer, with paddle attachment fixed, cream together the butter and brown sugar until fluffy. Add each egg, one at a time, until incorporated. Now add the vanilla extract and molasses and mix again until combined, about 30 seconds.
4. Very slowly, with the mixer running on low, add the dry ingredients into the wet until all has been added and a soft cookie dough forms. Pour the dough into the prepared baking dish and smooth it over with a rubber spatula. Bake the gingerbread crust for 5 minutes then remove from oven. Set aside.
5. Layer the butterscotch chips, white chocolate chips, dark chocolate chips, coconut, pecans and walnuts on top of the partially cooked crust. Pour the sweetened condensed milk evenly over the 6 layers. Top with more chips if you wish.
6. Cover the baking dish with a sheet of foil and bake for 30 minutes, removing the cover halfway through cooking (at the 15 minute point).
7. Remove from oven and let it cool at room temperature for at least an hour, then cover and place in the fridge for another hour or two or until the top is set (I let mine sit overnight in the fridge). Remove them from the dish using the paper "handles". Cut into bars and store covered at room temperature. Or for best results, store in the refrigerator. Enjoy!
