Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Butter
- 1.5 cups Graham cracker crumbs
- 14 ounces Sweetened condensed milk
- 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup Butterscotch chips
- 1.33 cups Sweetened flaked coconut
- 1 cup Chopped nuts (e.g., pecans or walnuts)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). If using a glass baking dish, preheat the oven to 325°F (162°C).
Melt the butter in a 9x13-inch baking pan by placing it in the preheating oven. Once melted, carefully remove the pan and tilt it to ensure the butter evenly coats the bottom.
Sprinkle the graham cracker crumbs evenly over the melted butter and press them down to form a firm crust.
Pour the sweetened condensed milk evenly over the graham cracker crust, spreading it gently with a spatula if necessary.
Sprinkle the semi-sweet chocolate chips over the condensed milk, followed by the butterscotch chips.
Add a layer of sweetened flaked coconut, spreading it evenly over the chips.
Finally, sprinkle the chopped nuts over the coconut layer.
Gently press down on the layers with your hand or the back of a spatula to help them adhere together.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are lightly browned.
Remove from the oven and allow the Magic Cookie Bars to cool completely in the pan.
Once cooled, cut into 12 bars (or smaller pieces, if you prefer) and serve. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator.
