CInnamon Seven Layer Bars-- Week 4 of 12 Weeks of Christmas Cookies

As soon as I saw my friend Cindy's posting of these cookies, I knew they HAD to be the next cookie I made. These bars did NOT disappoint and were perfect after a long day of work. Hello Dollie cookies are one of my favorites and I don't know why it took me so long to make a variation of them.

These are like a typical Seven Layer (or Magic Cookie or Hello Dollie) Cookie. You take a layer of graham cracker crust, coconut, nuts of choice, 2 kinds of chips, and then you add in craisins. (Coley helped me with this one and thought craisins were funny. He kept eating them out of the pan after we added that layer!)

It has taken me forever to find Cinnamon Chips. A few companies (Hershey's and King Arthur Flour) make them and only one grocery store here sells them. I probably screamed in the aisle when I saw them! Not only that it is a local grocery store! I've never seen them at a Wal-Mart or Kroger!

A big Thank you To Brenda of Meal Planning Magic for hosting these 12 Weeks of Christmas Treats! There is still time to join as well!!!
