Our Family's Magic Cookie Bars
These are a beefed up version of the original we are all so familiar with. Butterscotch chips are added and everything else is doubled. These are always requested at Christmas!
Ingredients
- 3 cups graham cracker crumbs *option for thinner crust at the bottom in notes
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 cup melted butter
- 1.5 cups chocolate chips
- 1.5 cups butterscotch chips
- 3.5 cups sweetened, flaked coconut
- 2 14 oz cans of sweetened condensed milk
Instructions
- Melt the butter.
- Combine graham cracker crumbs and sugar in large bowl.
- Stir melted butter into graham cracker crumbs.
- Press mixture very firmly into a 13 x 9 inch pan that has been lined with foil and greased.
- Evenly pour 1 can of sweetened condensed milk on top of prepared crust.
- Evenly spread the coconut on top of the milk layer.
- Sprinkle chocolate chips and butterscotch chips on top of this.
- Pour remaining can of sweetened condensed milk over the chips.
- Press down firmly on magic bars.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 35-40 minutes or until the crust is browning around the edges.
- See tips below for cutting.
Notes
- These bars are rather messy with graham cracker crumbs, melted chocolate, condensed milk, etc., so I recommend waiting until the bars cooled completely down to cut.
- These freeze well.
- I usually get 40 bars from this, but it will depend upon the size you cut. I cut 5 rows by 8 rows in my pan for 40 total.
- Don't want a thick crust? Try 2 cups graham cracker crumbs, 3/4 cup melted butter and 3 tbsps. sugar.
