Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter
- 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1.5 cups shredded sweetened coconut
- 1 cup chopped pecans or walnuts
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). If using a glass or dark-colored pan, lower the temperature to 325°F (160°C).
Melt the butter in the microwave or a small saucepan, then pour it evenly into a 9x13-inch baking pan.
Sprinkle the graham cracker crumbs over the melted butter. Use a spatula or the back of a spoon to press the crumbs firmly into the pan to form an even crust.
Pour the sweetened condensed milk evenly over the graham cracker crust, ensuring full coverage.
Sprinkle the chocolate chips evenly across the layer of sweetened condensed milk.
Next, add an even layer of shredded sweetened coconut over the chocolate chips.
Finally, sprinkle the chopped pecans or walnuts over the top of the coconut layer.
Gently press down the layers with the back of a spatula to ensure they stick together during baking.
Bake the bars in the preheated oven for 25 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.
Remove the pan from the oven and let the bars cool completely in the pan. This will allow the layers to set properly.
Once cooled, cut into 12 squares or smaller bars, depending on your preference.
Serve and enjoy your delicious 'Magic Cookie Bars – A Grandma Brown Special'!
