Here’s a version of 7 layer bars that is sure to become a family favorite. It has a layer of delicious red velvet cake, chocolate chips, coconut, white chocolate chips, walnuts all covered with sweetened condensed milk.

This makes a 9 x 13 pan and is even kid approved.  I took half of this over to the kids house and while we were gone shopping they ate half of what I took them in just a couple of hours. I always love it when the kids love what I make for them. This recipe will make 16 large bars but you might want to cut them smaller.

Red Velvet 7 Layer Bars

My Aunt Mary was our 7 Layer Cookie Bar Queen! She started making 7 layer bars back in 1970. I know this because my mom sent me recipe cards for some favorite recipes for Christmas that year and there was a note there on the card.  It said Aunt Mary brought these for Thanksgiving and they were a hit. I am guessing the original recipe came from Bordon’s Eagle Brand but a quick search gave me no real leads as to where or how this recipe was originated. I have to say I really love this version with the red velvet cake layer.
