Yummy magic cookie bars using a magic cookie bar recipe that has everything in it but the kitchen sink! A buttery smooth graham cracker crust layered with loads of chocolate chips, topped with coconut and then generously coated with sweetened condensed milk. With ingredients like that, these decadent treats are definitely magic bars.

You've probably seen a seven layer bars recipe on cans of sweetened condensed milk and just didn't know their name. Also known as magic bars, hello dolly bars, and seven layer bars they top the list of must have recipes. This is a recipe that you can play with and experiment with a variety of chips and crusts, but the following is the classic recipe. Because they are so gooey (which is NOT a bad thing) lining your 9x13 pan with a piece of parchment paper is recommended. It also helps with cutting perfect squares after completely cooled. Simply lift the parchment out of the pan. Perfect bars, clean pan; who wouldn't love that?

Hello Dolly Bars

INGREDIENTS:

  • 1 ½ cups crushed graham cracker crumbs (approx 2 sleeves of crackers)
  • 1 stick (1/2 Cup) Unsalted Butter
  • 1 14 oz can sweetened condensed milk (NOT evaporated milk)
  • 1 Cup flaked coconut
  • 1 Cup semi-sweet OR milk chocolate chips
  • 1 Cup butterscotch chips
  • 1 Cup chopped walnuts or pecans

DIRECTIONS:

Preheat oven to 350° (F). Melt butter. In a bowl combine the melted butter and crushed graham cracker crumbs. Stir until mixed. Press buttered crumbs into the bottom of a 9x13 pan. Pour sweetened condensed milk over the crumb crust. Evenly layer the chips, nuts and coconut. Bake for 25 minutes or until coconut is golden brown. Cool completely and cut into bars.

OPTION 2: You can also layer all the toppings onto the crust in the pan, and then pour the sweetened condensed milk over everything. Preparing the bars this way gives them a more uniformed appearance, but the taste is still delicious.
