It’s the most wonderful time of the year…to bake cookies! Usually I end up making the same old chocolate chip cookies, peanut butter blossoms, and some sugar cookies to decorate. But this year, I decided to make Magic Cookie Bars.
And it takes some magic to keep these delicious cookie bars from being gobbled up in one sitting, they are just that good!
Magic Cookie Bars
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups of graham cracker crumbs
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 1 can (14oz) of sweetened condensed milk
- 1 cup butterscotch chips
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 1/3 cup coconut flakes
- 1 cup chopped nuts
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 300°F
- Grease a 13×9 pan with no-stick cooking spray
- Combine graham crackers and butter, press mixture firmly into bottom of pan
- Pour sweetened condensed milk evenly over graham cracker mixture
- Using the rest of the ingredients, layer evenly, pressing each layer firmly down
- Bake 25-30 minutes until lightly brown
I found a trick to pressing down the ingredients firmly is to use a spatula! Works like a charm and you can press a fairly big section all at once.
After the pan has cooled, cut into bars. They can be a bit messy, so I like to put mine in the refrigerator to harden them up a bit. That way I don’t lose any of the delicious little morsels of chocolate. 😉
Yumm That is my kind of dessert, my dad and brother will love this recipe! I would love for you to share a post on my Meet Up Monday Blog Party!

Kelly, I found your blog through a facebook blogging group and I just wanted to say that it’s absolutely stunning. I love your layout and the way that I can save and print your recipes directly. I’m floored! You’ve really inspired me, both with your layout and this recipe (I love to bake too 🙂 )
Now to read some of your other recipes …
I have made this a lot. They are WONDERFUL!! I pour the condensed milk on last and it acts like glue to hold everything together. No pressing down required.
That’s such a great idea to pour the condensed milk on last…I will definitely be trying that out next time! Thanks for stopping by 🙂
I’m drooling!! These look absolutely to die for.
