Ingredients

Scale

Crust and Base

  • 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
  • ½ cup butter, melted

Layers and Topping

  • 1 (14 ounce) can Eagle Brand Sweetened Condensed Milk
  • 2 cups semisweet chocolate morsels
  • 1 ⅓ cups flaked coconut
  • 1 cup chopped nuts

Instructions

  1. Gather Ingredients: Assemble all the ingredients listed for this recipe ensuring you have the correct quantities measured for easy preparation.
  2. Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Heat your oven to 350°F (175°C). If using a glass baking dish, reduce the temperature to 325°F (165°C). Lightly coat a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  3. Make Crust: In a medium bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs with the melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand. Press this mixture evenly onto the bottom of the prepared baking dish to form the crust.
  4. Add Sweetened Condensed Milk: Pour the entire can of Eagle Brand Sweetened Condensed Milk evenly over the pressed crust layer, spreading gently to cover the surface.
  5. Layer Toppings: Sprinkle an even layer of semisweet chocolate chips over the condensed milk, followed by the flaked coconut and then the chopped nuts to cover the bars uniformly.
  6. Press Toppings: Using the back of a fork, press down firmly on the layered toppings to help them adhere together and to the condensed milk for a cohesive bar.
  7. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 25 minutes, or until the edges are lightly browned and bubbly.
  8. Cool and Cut: Remove from oven and allow the bars to cool completely in the dish. Once cooled, cut into 36 bars or diamond shapes for serving.
  9. Serve: Enjoy these delicious Magic Cookie Bars as a sweet snack or dessert.

Notes

  • For a glass baking dish, reduce oven temperature to 325°F to prevent overbaking.
  • You can substitute chopped nuts with walnuts, pecans, or almonds depending on your preference.
  • Pressing the toppings down firmly helps the bars hold together better when sliced.
  • Store bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to a week.
  • These bars can be frozen for up to 2 months; thaw at room temperature before serving.
