Today I wanted to share with y’all an easy to make, fun to bake recipe from Betty Crocker! One of my favorite things to do during the holidays is bake and now that Ava is three she is Mama’s Helper in the kitchen. She has her own hat, apron, and stool {check it out here} and she loves stirring, rolling, scooping, and of course taste testing my recipes!
Baking with Betty Crocker is a simple, fun way to add a happy moment to you and your children’s day!

Ava today -can you believe how much she’s grown?!
Bake Memories with Betty Crocker!
This recipe, 7 Layer Gingerbread Treat Bars, is from the Betty Crocker 24 Days of Cookies.
It features a gingerbread cookie mix crust layered with vanilla chips, nuts, cranberries and coconut and then drizzled with sweetened condensed milk. They are gooey and decadent and make a great holiday gift for friends and family too!
I even made some for my Cookie Exchange Party last week.

In large bowl, add cookie mix, water, butter, and egg.
Use softened butter but not melted.
I like to cube mine to make it easier to mix in.
Mix until a soft dough forms.
Press dough into the bottom of a greased 9X13 pan.
Bake for 15 minutes at 350 degrees.
I love using rich and creamy condensed milk in my desserts!
Pour condensed milk evenly over surface.
Spread to cover.
Now it’s time for toppings!
Sprinkle white vanilla baking chips, pecans, cranberries and coconut evenly over top.
How amazing does that look?
Bake at 350 degrees for 18-20 minutes until bubbly and browned.
Cool completely before slicing.
Cut into squares{about 32} and serve or wrap up for gifts.
Aren’t these pretty? We ate a few of course, but then we packed
up the rest as gifts for our friends and neighbors.
Gooey and delicious and packed full with sweet toppings
these 7 Layer Bars are the ultimate holiday treat!
Ava enjoyed her special 7 Layer Bar treat while we decorated the Christmas tree.
She even shared a bite with Daddy. But only one bite.
So naturally Daddy had to get his own then.
Poor Stella, you know she wanted a nibble too!
