Description
These timeless magic cookie bars are all about easy layers and big payoff. A buttery graham crust gets topped with chocolate, coconut, and crunchy nuts, then drenched in sweetened condensed milk that melts everything together into one irresistible bar.
Ingredients
Scale
- ½ cup butter, melted and slightly cooled
- 1 cup crushed graham crackers
- 1 cup sweetened flaked coconut
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate morsels
- 1 cup chopped pecans or walnuts
- 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
Instructions
- Heat the oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly coat a 9×13 baking dish with grease or cooking spray.
- Create the crust: Stir the melted butter and graham cracker crumbs together until evenly moistened. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the pan to form an even base.
- Add the layers: Scatter the coconut evenly over the crust, followed by the chocolate chips and chopped nuts. Slowly drizzle the sweetened condensed milk over the entire surface so it seeps into all the layers.
- Bake to perfection: Place the pan in the oven and bake for about 25 minutes, until the edges turn golden and the top looks lightly toasted.
- Cool and slice: Let the bars cool completely in the pan—this helps them set properly—then cut into squares and serve.
Notes
- Try mixing milk chocolate, dark chocolate, or butterscotch chips for a flavor twist.
- A small splash of vanilla stirred into the crust adds extra warmth and depth.
