Magic Cookie Bars
These Magic Cookie Bars are incredibly simple to throw together and made with just seven ingredients. Perfect for an easy dessert when you're short on time!
Ingredients
- 1 and 1/2 cups (175 grams) graham cracker crumbs
- 1/2 cup (115 grams) butter , melted and slightly cooled
- 1 cup (175 grams) semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 3/4 cup (125 grams) peanut butter chips (or butterscotch chips)
- 1 cup (90 grams) sweetened shredded coconut
- 1/2 cup (60 grams) chopped pecans
- 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Line a 9x13-inch pan with aluminum foil or parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal, and set aside.
- Add the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter to a mixing bowl and stir until all of the crumbs are moistened. Scoop into the prepared pan and firmly press it down into one even layer.
- Spray the sides of the foil or parchment paper with nonstick cooking spray (so the topping doesn't stick to the edges). Sprinkle the chocolate chips, peanut butter chips, shredded coconut, and chopped pecans on top of the graham cracker layer one at a time. Pour the can of sweetened condensed milk over the top.
- Bake at 350°F (177°C) for 25-30 minutes or until the edges begin to brown and the top is lightly browned. Remove from the oven and cool completely on a wire rack.
- Once the bars have cooled completely in the pan, remove them using the overhang from the foil or parchment paper, slice into bars, and enjoy!
Notes
Storage Instructions: Store bars in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
Freezing Instructions: Bars will freeze well for up to 3 months, thaw overnight in the refrigerator.
Graham Cracker Crumbs: I prefer to use store-bought graham cracker crumbs to make this recipe a little easier. If you prefer to make your own, you'll need 11-12 full-sheets of graham crackers to get 1 and 1/2 cups.
