These Magic Cookie Bars are a delightful treat featuring a crunchy graham cracker crust layered with semi-sweet chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, chopped pecans, and shredded coconut, all drizzled with sweetened condensed milk and baked to chewy perfection. Easy to make and irresistibly delicious, they’re perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Crust

  • 1 ½ cups (210g) graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/2 cup (112g) unsalted butter, melted

Toppings

  • 1 cup (169g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup (169g) butterscotch chips
  • 1 cup (106g) chopped pecans
  • 1 cup (75g) shredded coconut

Other

  • 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, ensuring some overhang for easy removal of the bars later.
  2. Prepare Crust: In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Mix until all crumbs are evenly moistened. Press this mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan to form the crust.
  3. Add Toppings: Evenly sprinkle the semi-sweet chocolate chips and butterscotch chips over the crust. Follow by evenly layering the chopped pecans and shredded coconut on top of the chips.
  4. Drizzle Condensed Milk: Pour the sweetened condensed milk evenly over all the toppings to help bind the layers and add sweetness.
  5. Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is lightly browned and the edges start to pull away from the pan.
  6. Cool and Cut: Remove from the oven and allow the bars to cool completely in the pan. Once cooled, lift them out using the parchment overhang and cut into squares to serve.

Notes

  • You can customize these bars by swapping the chocolate chips or nuts for dried cranberries, raisins, mini-marshmallows, or other favorite add-ins.
  • Ensure the bars cool completely before cutting to maintain clean slices and prevent crumbling.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days for maximum freshness.
