Sarah Vaughan, Waterville, Maine, sends a recipe that takes the crushed-graham-cracker approach.

Graham Cracker Crust Recipes
7-Layer Bars Recipe
1 stick butter, cut in pieces
1 cup crushed graham crackers
1 cup oatmeal
1 cup chocolate bits, semisweet or milk chocolate
1 cup butterscotch bits
1 1/2 cups chopped walnuts
1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
Heat oven to 350°F.
Melt butter in 13-by-9-by-2-inch baking dish, making sure it evenly covers the bottom. Spread cracker crumbs evenly over butter. Spread oatmeal next, then chocolate bits, butterscotch bits and nuts. Drizzle canned milk over the top.
Bake for 25 to 30 minutes.
Sarah’s note of caution: “You don’t want to cut these too big, because they are very rich.”
