Chef Jeff's 7-Layer Bar

"It's the ultimate comfort dessert; people rave about my 7-Layer Bar," says personal chef and caterer Jeff Blumsack of St. Augustine, Florida, whose primary focus is comfort food meals clients take home in a slow cooker. "I use this recipe for parties and it's always gobbled up off the dessert trays in two minutes and I also sell it to my Crockpot customers."

The recipe has been passed from Blumsack's grandmother to his mother and now to him. "It's simple and decadent," he says.

1 cup melted butter
4 cups crushed graham cracker crumbs
8 oz. chocolate bits
