Description

Magic Cookie Bars are a luscious layered dessert featuring a crunchy graham cracker crust topped with shredded coconut, chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, chopped walnuts, and a generous drizzle of sweetened condensed milk, baked to golden perfection. This easy-to-make treat combines a variety of textures and flavors, perfect for parties and everyday indulgence.

Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 1/2 cup butter, melted
  • 1 1/4 cup graham cracker crumbs

Toppings

  • 1 cup shredded coconut
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup butterscotch chips
  • 1 cup chopped walnuts

Finishing

  • 14 oz can sweetened condensed milk

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven: Set your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure it reaches the right temperature before baking the bars.
  2. Prepare crust: In a 13×9 inch baking dish, combine the melted butter and graham cracker crumbs. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of the pan to create a thin, even base layer.
  3. Add coconut layer: Evenly sprinkle the shredded coconut over the graham cracker crust, ensuring full coverage for a balanced texture.
  4. Layer chips and nuts: Sprinkle the semi-sweet chocolate chips over the coconut, followed by the butterscotch chips, and then the chopped walnuts, creating distinct layers of flavor.
  5. Drizzle condensed milk: Pour the sweetened condensed milk evenly over the layered ingredients to bind the bars and add sweetness.
  6. Bake: Place the pan in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, until the bars turn golden and the mixture is set.
  7. Cool and slice: Remove from the oven and let the bars cool completely in the pan before slicing into squares to serve.

Notes

  • Ensure the bars cool completely before cutting to prevent crumbling.
  • Can substitute walnuts with pecans or omit nuts for a nut-free version.
  • Store bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for longer freshness.
