Vegan 7 Layer Bars Recipe

I can remember making 7 layer bars as a kid. They are super easy to make not to mention delicious. Also who doesn’t love a recipe whose name reflects exactly what it is – 7 layers in a bar. We would bring them to parties or make them for our Sunday Funday as food was always the main event. Being vegan a lot of recipes from my past will never be made again but I am happy to say I have veganized a classic that is sure to please many.

The basic concept of 7 layer bars is to form a crust add layers of nuts, coconut and chocolate chips and top off with sweetened condensed milk then bake. Not eating dairy just led me to get creative with switching out some ingredients. The butter is swapped for earth balance butter, chocolate chips for vegan chocolate chips and the sweetened condensed milk for coconut cream. I feel like I have hit the lotto with discovering coconut cream; this stuff is delicious just alone on a graham cracker. I am excited to use it in future recipes. It can be found in the Latin section at the supermarket or HERE on Amazon.

Vegan 7 layer bars are a decedent treat sure to bring happiness. My fellow sweets lovers this one is for you! You get so many amazing flavors in one bite, chocolate, peanut butter, coconut, and nuttiness atop a buttery crust. I brought these to a cookout and they were gobbled up. The few extra crumbs that remained I sprinkled on banana nice cream for a heavenly late night treat.

You will need a food processor to crumb the graham crackers and chop the nuts. Alternatively you could buy them already crumbed or chopped.
