Description

Magic Cookie Bars from EAGLE BRAND are rich, layered dessert bars with a buttery graham cracker crust, shredded coconut, chocolate chips, chopped nuts, and sweetened condensed milk. They bake in one pan and slice beautifully for Christmas trays, potlucks, and easy make-ahead desserts.


Ingredients

Scale

1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted

1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs

1 cup sweetened shredded coconut

1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

1 cup chopped nuts (pecans or walnuts)

1 can (14 ounces) EAGLE BRAND Sweetened Condensed Milk

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract


Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

2. Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or line it with parchment paper.

3. Combine melted butter and graham cracker crumbs in a medium bowl.

4. Press the graham cracker mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan.

5. Sprinkle the coconut evenly over the crust.

6. Add the chocolate chips and chopped nuts in even layers.

7. Drizzle the EAGLE BRAND Sweetened Condensed Milk evenly over the top.

8. Add the vanilla extract over the surface.

9. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until the edges turn lightly golden.

10. Cool in the pan for 10 to 15 minutes, then slice into bars and serve.

Notes

Line the pan with parchment for easier lifting and cleaner slices.

Let the bars cool before cutting so the layers hold together.

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 3 days or refrigerate for up to 1 week.
