Classic Magic Cookie Bars
These bars were one of the first desserts I ever learned to make with my mom. Each layer felt like a tiny surprise, and that feeling still hasn’t faded every time I bake them.
Equipment
- 9×13 inch baking pan
- Mixing Bowl
Ingredients
Crust
- 200 g graham crackers, crushed
- 120 g melted butter
Layers
- 400 g sweetened condensed milk
- 150 g chocolate chips
- 120 g coconut flakes
- 100 g chopped nuts
Instructions
- Mix the crushed graham crackers and melted butter together in a bowl.
- Press the crumb mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking pan to form the crust.
- Pour the sweetened condensed milk evenly over the crust layer.
- Sprinkle the chocolate chips, coconut flakes, and chopped nuts over the milk layer.
- Bake at 175°C (350°F) for 25 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
- Cool the bars completely before slicing them into individual servings.
Notes
Cooling completely is necessary for clean slicing. If you cut them warm, the layers will stick together.
