Magic Cookie Bars

Submitted by dojemi

"These bars are known by several names (Seven Layer, Magic Cookie, Hello Dolly, Chocolate Coconut) but the originator of this bar (msmeanie) claims they're wholesome compared to the others. Unfortunately, the calories are still about the same but they're so rich that a small piece will satisfy your sweet tooth. The posted yield is approximate....it all depends on the size you cut them into."
