For the last four years, we have hosted the annual Rancho San Miguel Swim Team Bunco Fundraiser at our house.  I served these treats at the fundraiser.  The bars were very simple to make and they were a big hit!

My mother, Carol Callaghan,  had two copies of this recipe in her kitchen. One is written is her handwriting and it titles the recipe as " 7 Layers". The other is a printed recipe that titles the recipe, "Fudgie-Scotch Squares".  After making the recipe, I spoke to my Aunt Aurelie McCarthy and she referred to the recipe as "Magic Cookie Bars".   Whatever the title, I will certainly make this simple recipe again.
