The addition of dulce de leche makes this a decadent new take on traditional seven-layer bars. You can cut this recipe in half and make it in an 8x8-in. pan. —Andrea Barlow, Hot Springs, Arkansas

Ingredients

  • 24 Oreo cookies
  • 1/2 cup butter, melted
  • 1 cup flaked coconut
  • 1-1/2 cups crisp brown rice cereal
  • 1 can (13.4 ounces) dulce de leche
  • 6 tablespoons warm water (110° to 115°)
  • 1-1/2 cups coarsely chopped pecans
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°. Pulse cookies in a food processor until finely chopped. Combine crumbs and melted butter; press onto bottom of a greased, foil-lined 13x9-in. baking pan. Spread coconut over crust; sprinkle with crisp rice cereal.
  2. Combine dulce de leche and water until smooth. Pour over cereal. Sprinkle pecans over dulce de leche; press down lightly.
  3. Bake until edges are set but center is still soft, about 30 minutes. (Do not overbake.) Remove from oven; immediately sprinkle with sea salt. Cool completely on a wire rack before cutting into 24 squares.
