Basic Seven-Layer Bars
Basic Seven-Layer Bars is Head to the store and pick up graham crackers, nuts, condensed milk, and a few other things to make it today. This recipe is typical of Asian cuisine. From preparation to the plate, this recipe takes approximately 1 hour and 25 minutes.
Instructions
Heat the oven to 350°F and arrange a rack in the middle.
Place the graham crackers in a resealable plastic bag, press out the air, and seal, leaving about 1 inch unsealed. Using a rolling pin, roll over the crackers until they are fine, uniform crumbs (you should have about 1 cup of crumbs). Alternatively, you can place the crackers in a food processor fitted with a blade attachment and process for about 1 minute.
Place the butter in a 13-by-9-inch baking dish and place in the oven until the butter has melted, about 10 minutes.
Remove the dish from the oven and tilt it so the butter evenly coats the bottom.
Sprinkle the graham cracker crumbs evenly over the butter, then sprinkle the coconut over the crumbs.
Sprinkle the chocolate, peanut butter, white chocolate, or butterscotch chips over the coconut, then sprinkle the nuts over the chips. Evenly drizzle the condensed milk over all of the layers.
Bake until golden brown around the edges and springy to the touch, about 20 to 30 minutes.
Remove to a wire rack and cool completely.
Cut into 24 squares and serve.
Recommended wine: Chenin Blanc, Gewurztraminer, Riesling
Chenin Blanc, Gewurztraminer, and Riesling are my top picks for Thai. The best wine for Asian food depends on the cuisine and dish - of course - but these acidic whites pair with a number of traditional meals, spicy or not. You could try Birichino Jurassic Park Vineyard Old Vines Chenin Blanc. Reviewers quite like it with a 4.4 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 26 dollars per bottle.
Birichino Jurassic Park Vineyard Old Vines Chenin Blanc
The 2017 sports a perfume of orange blossom honey, apple butter, brimstone, and some peculiar precursor of lilac which activates not merely the olfactory system, but also the limbic system, autonomic nervous system, and other systems located in more distant sectors. Soil and micro-climate humidity during the 2017 growing season remained quite high through the growing season due to the enormous rains from the previous winter, contributing to the development of modest yet meaningful early botrytis. We last encountered these conditions in 2013 and produced a wine similar to that vintage - just off dry in the style known by the French as sec tendre - dry, yet tender. And as with previous vintages, this wine fermented in stainless steel without inoculation, and was aged until the following Spring in 8 stainless and 2 neutral Hungarian oak barrels.
