Stack of seven layer magic bars on a dessert plate. - 1

Magic Bars (only 6 ingredients!)

Ingredients

  • 10 Tbsp (141g) unsalted butter, diced into 1 Tbsp pieces
  • 2 cups (228g) crushed graham crackers (about 15 full sheets)
  • 2 cups (340g) chocolate chips*
  • 1 cup (86g) shredded sweetened coconut
  • 1 cup (100g) chopped walnuts or pecans
  • 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk**

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place butter in a 13 by 9-inch baking dish, add to oven and allow to heat until melted (mine took a little over 2 minutes).
  • Remove from oven, tilt pan side to side to allow butter to run about 1-inch up the sides of the pan.
  • Add graham crackers and toss to evenly coat with melted butter. Firmly press mixture into an even layer in pan.
  • Sprinkle chocolate chips evenly over graham cracker layer followed by coconut and pecans.
  • Drizzle sweetened condensed milk evenly over top. Bake in preheated oven until lightly golden, about 25 minutes.
  • Cool completely on a wire rack then cut into bars. Store in an airtight container.

Notes

  • I like to use 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips and 1 cup milk chocolate chips.
  • For best results don’t use low fat or fat free sweetened condensed milk.
