Irresistible Layers: Classic Magic Bars Delight

 

Ingredients:

• 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
• ½ cup unsalted butter (melted)
• 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1 cup butterscotch chips (optional)
• 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
• 1 cup chopped nuts (pecans, walnuts, or almonds)

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

2. Make the crust. In a medium bowl, mix together the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until combined. Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish to form a firm crust.

3. Layer the ingredients. Pour the sweetened condensed milk evenly over the graham cracker crust. Then, sprinkle the chocolate chips, butterscotch chips (if using), shredded coconut, and chopped nuts evenly on top.

4. Press down the layers. Gently press the layers down with the back of a spoon or spatula to help them adhere.

5. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the coconut is lightly toasted.

6. Cool and cut. Let the bars cool completely in the pan. Once cooled, cut into squares or bars and serve.

Storage:

Store these magic bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or refrigerate for a longer shelf life.

Enjoy these rich, decadent magic bars!
