Magic Cookie Bars are a delicious layered dessert featuring a buttery graham cracker crust, sweetened condensed milk, semi-sweet chocolate chips, flaked coconut, and chopped nuts. Baked to golden perfection, these bars combine rich flavors with a delightful chewy texture, perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale

Crust

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

Filling and Topping

  • 1 (14 oz.) can Eagle Brand® Sweetened Condensed Milk
  • 2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 1/3 cup flaked coconut
  • 1 cup chopped nuts

Instructions

  1. Prepare Oven and Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C). Lightly coat a 13 x 9-inch baking pan with non-stick cooking spray. For easy removal and clean cuts, line the pan with foil, allowing the edges to extend beyond the sides, then spray the foil lightly with non-stick spray.
  2. Make Crust: In a small bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Press this mixture evenly and firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan to form the crust layer.
  3. Add Layers: Pour the sweetened condensed milk evenly over the crust. Then, layer the semi-sweet chocolate chips, flaked coconut, and chopped nuts evenly on top. Press down gently but firmly with a fork to help everything stay in place.
  4. Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the top is lightly browned and bubbling around the edges.
  5. Cool and Cut: After baking, loosen the bars from the edges of the pan while they are still warm. Allow the bars to cool completely on a wire rack. Once cool, lift the bars out using the foil edges and cut into squares or diamond shapes.

Notes

  • For perfect bars, lining the pan with foil ensures easy removal and clean cuts.
  • Press the layers firmly to keep them intact after baking.
  • Feel free to substitute chocolate chips or nuts with candy-coated pieces, dried cranberries, raisins, mini-marshmallows, or butterscotch chips for variety.
  • Store bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week or freeze for longer storage.
