Requiring just 10 minutes of prep and 25 minutes of bake time, Hello Dollies are the go-to choice for parties, potlucks, or a simple sweet snack.

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Melt the butter in a microwave-safe bowl or saucepan.
In a mixing bowl, combine the melted butter with the graham cracker crumbs. Stir until the mixture resembles wet sand.
Press the graham cracker mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish to form the crust.
Pour the sweetened condensed milk over the crust, spreading it out evenly with a spatula or spoon.
Sprinkle the chocolate chips evenly over the condensed milk.
Add a layer of shredded coconut over the chocolate chips.
Top the coconut layer with chopped pecans or walnuts, spreading them out evenly.
Gently press down on the layers with your hands or the back of a spatula to ensure the toppings adhere to the condensed milk.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the coconut is lightly toasted.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
Once cooled, cut into 12 bars or squares. Serve and enjoy!
