Magic bars

Soft-baked graham cracker cookie bars with butterscotch, coconut, chocolate, and pecans. An greatest edition of the classic magic bar/hello dolly bar.

Welcome to Day seven of Sally’s Cookie Palooza! So are you sick of cookies ye…

Ha! I can’t even finish typing that sentence. Of program you aren’t.

Nicely, we in fact are taking a brief break from cookies nowadays. Cookie bars are on the menu and you’re totally going to love them.

Standard Magic Bars, also identified as Hello Dolly Bars or 7 Layer Bars, are a layered dessert bar with a crumbly graham cracker crust, then topped with layers of butterscotch, coconut, chocolate, and nuts. Everything sticks with each other from gooey sweetened condensed milk that caramelizes on prime when baked.

In short… magic bars are everything you really like all in one.

And right now? I produced them even far better. That’s appropriate. I went off the beaten path and produced a traditional magic cookie bar… thicker, softer, overloaded, and downright ultimate!

So here’s what you’re going to do.

Oh I can’t even deal with it!

So… the crust. It may possibly just be my favored element about this recipe. It’s like a thick graham cracker with a super soft texture. If you’re anything like me, you crumble graham crackers up into your yogurt. No? Just me?

You’ll make the identical graham cracker cookie bar that you manufactured here. (Have you produced these? Do it.) Add some butterscotch chips to it and pre-bake it for a swift five minutes whilst you get the other components ready.

On top of the pre-baked crust, layer one cup chocolate chips, 3/4 cup shredded coconut, and one/two cup chopped pecans.

Guess what? You can play all around with individuals amounts. Enjoy coconut? Include a little a lot more. Don’t like nuts? Depart them out and substitute with a lot more chocolate chips or coconut. There is lots of area to perform all around with the toppings. Have enjoyable with it! Kevin even recommended peanut butter cups following time. I knew I was marrying this man for a reason.

Best with eight ounces of sweetened condensed milk, which is a little more than half of a standard 14 oz can. Before baking, I threw some added butterscotch chips on best. I am a fool for butterscotch, aren’t you?

When the cookie bars are accomplished in the oven, you have to allow them cool. Now if you’re self manage has in no way been examined before… it will be tested now. If you lower into the bars as well early, the layers will fall apart and you’ll be left with a gooey mess. Which, umm… even now tastes very very good if you inquire me.

But significantly. Let the bars great. Considering that I have zero persistence, I sped up the procedure and caught them in the fridge soon after 30 minutes of cooling on the counter. I suggest you do the same. The sooner you can dig in!

They’re soft, they’re thick, they’re chewy, they’re ultimate! Layers upon layers of goodness. So numerous darn tastes and textures. Your tastebuds will be in heaven. They’ll be the star of any dessert platter!

So what did we do with these poor boys? Following sampling fairly a handful of following the photograph shoot, Kevin’s pal came in excess of to go to. (I’m beginning to believe that his friends come in excess of just for the baked goods we constantly have about.) We sent him off with the rest of these ultimate cookie bars. I acquired a text shortly following.

“These won’t last the total vehicle ride.”

Yeah, I hear ya Dave. I hear ya.

Look at how they’re made and start off some greatest baking!
