Description
Magic Cookie Bars, also known as Seven Layer Bars, are a rich and chewy dessert made with layers of graham cracker crust, chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, coconut, and sweetened condensed milk — a true crowd-pleaser that’s easy to make!
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup butterscotch chips
- 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
- 1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, combine melted butter and graham cracker crumbs until evenly moistened. Press mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan to form a crust.
- Pour sweetened condensed milk evenly over the crust.
- Layer chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, coconut, and nuts (if using) evenly over the top.
- Press down gently with the back of a spoon to help the layers stick together.
- Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
- Allow bars to cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares or bars.
Notes
- Line the pan with parchment paper for easy removal and clean cuts.
- Try other mix-ins like white chocolate, peanut butter chips, or dried fruit for variety.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or refrigerate for longer shelf life.
- For a crunchier texture, toast the coconut slightly before adding.
