Classic Magic Bars
This recipe is a classic that's been around for many years and that's because the layers are so quick and easy it's almost like magic!
Ingredients:
- 8 tablespoons butter - melted
- 2 cups crushed graham cracker crumbs (see notes)
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1 cup butterscotch chips
- 2/3 cup coconut flakes (I use unsweetened)
- 1/2 cup chopped nuts (I use walnuts)
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk - 14 oz (see notes)
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place the butter in a 9x13 pan and place in the oven while it is preheating to melt the butter. Once the butter is melted, remove the pan from the oven to continue adding layers.
- Pour the crushed graham cracker crumbs over the melted butter and pat down to form the bottom layer.
- Sprinkle on the chocolate chips, the butterscotch chips, the coconut flakes, and the chopped nuts.
- Pour the sweetened condensed milk over everything making sure to get around the edges too.
- Bake for 20 to 25 minutes.
Notes:
I find it easy to melt my butter in the pan as the oven is preheating, but you can also just melt the butter in the microwave and pour it in the pan to get the recipe started.
I always use one sleeve of graham crackers (which is 9 large rectangles). This gives you the right amount of graham crackers crumbs needed, which when I measured them for writing out this recipe was about 2 cups.
A 14 oz can sweetened condensed milk is about 1-1/4 cups.
This recipe can be made in a half size batch in an 8x8 pan too. I use 2/3 cup of the sweetened condensed milk for a half batch.
