Classic Magic Cookie Bars Recipe (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
→ Base Layer
01 -
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
02 -
12 full graham cracker sheets (about 1 1/2 cups when crushed)
03 -
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
→ Topping Layers
04 -
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (6 1/2 ounces)
05 -
1 cup butterscotch chips (6 1/2 ounces)
06 -
1 cup shredded coconut (sweetened or unsweetened)
07 -
1 cup pecans (4 ounces), coarsely chopped
08 -
1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
# Instructions:
01 -
Position a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 350°F. Line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, creating a sling with overhang on all sides.
02 -
Melt the butter in a large bowl. Crush the graham crackers into fine crumbs, combine with salt and melted butter until evenly moistened. Press mixture firmly into the prepared pan using a flat-bottomed measuring cup.
03 -
Sprinkle chocolate chips and butterscotch chips evenly over the crust. Follow with layers of coconut and chopped pecans. Pour the sweetened condensed milk evenly over everything - it will spread naturally.
04 -
Bake until golden brown, 25 to 27 minutes. Cool completely on a wire rack for 1 to 2 hours. Use the parchment sling to lift out the bars, then cut into 20 pieces.
