Magic Bars

If you are looking for a super easy and decadent dessert, or even if you are not looking, I’ve got a great one for you. These amazing bar cookies will satisfy your sweet tooth, and your neighbor’s too. There are countless versions of these awesome cookies, Hello Dolly Bars, Seven Layer Bars, and a few others. I went with the Disney inspired Magic Bars because I like the name. Call them whatever you like.

The fun thing about cookies like Magic Bars is you can customize them to your preferences. If you don’t like coconut, don’t add it. Use this recipe as your base and tweak it to your liking. Have fun with it. I added sprinkles because why not. 

Magic Bars are effortless yet scrumptious. These uncomplicated cookies are soft and chewy like caramel with just the right amount of crunch. Your hunger for something sweet will be gratified with this lovely treat. Enjoy!

Happy Eating!

I will give thanks to the LORD with all my heart; I will tell of all Your wonders. Psalm 9:1

Magic Bars 

Ingredients 

1 1/4 cup graham cracker crumbs (approximately 9 graham crackers or 1 full sleeve)

1/2 cup melted butter (4 oz.)

6 oz. chocolate chips 

6 oz. butterscotch chips 

1 cup sweetened coconut flakes 

14 oz. can sweetened condensed milk

1/2 cup chopped walnuts

2 Tbsp. Jimmies sprinkles (optional)

Instructions 

1. Preheat oven to 350°. Line a 9 x 13 pan with parchment or aluminum foil, or spray with cooking spray.
2. In a small bowl mix the graham crackers and melted butter. Dump the mixture into the prepared baking dish and press into place with a measuring cup.
3. Spread chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, and flaked coconut evenly on the crust. Pour entire can of sweetened condensed milk on top over everything.
4. Add walnuts and sprinkles on top.
5. Bake for 25-30 minutes until the edges are golden brown, and the filling is bubbly. Cool completely and cut into bars. Enjoy!

Notes: 

• Cool by placing the bars in the fridge or freezer. They will be easier to cut if cool.
• Use parchment or foil to easily remove from the pan and cut.
• Magic Bars are very soft, especially when they first come out of the oven.
• Use more or less coconut, or nuts to your preference.
