Seven Layer Magic Bars
Description
This recipe starts by melting butter and mixing it with graham cracker crumbs to form the base crust pressed evenly into a 9x13 pan. Layers of chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, sweetened flaked coconut, and chopped walnuts are then spread evenly on top. A full can of sweetened condensed milk is poured over the layers and spread to coat thoroughly before baking.
Baked at 350°F for 25 to 30 minutes, the bars develop golden edges and a set center. The condensed milk caramelizes and binds the layers together, creating a chewy and sweet bar with contrasting textures from the crunch of nuts and crust, and the softness of melted chips and coconut.
After baking, cooling completely is essential for firm slicing. Lining the pan with parchment paper facilitates removal and cleaner cutting. The bars store well refrigerated to keep their shape and can be kept in the fridge to make slicing easier. This dessert is a rich treat that combines multiple sweet flavors and textures in one bar.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs crushed
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1 cup butterscotch chips
- 1 cup sweetened flaked coconut
- 1/2 cup walnuts chopped
- 1 sweetened condensed milk 14 oz) can
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9x13 inch baking pan with cooking spray or line with parchment paper and set aside.
- Melt butter in a small saucepan. Remove from heat and stir in graham cracker crumbs until throughly combined. Press into the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking pan to form the crust.
- Evenly sprinkle remaining ingredients one by one over the crust to form layers, beginning with the chocolate chips, followed by the butterscotch chips, coconut, and walnuts. Pour the condensed milk evenly over the top, and spread with a rubber spatula to make sure it's evenly distributed.
- Bake in preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until edges are golden brown and the middle is set.
- Allow to cool completely before slicing. Enjoy!
Notes
- To make graham cracker crumbs, crush about 11 to 12 full rectangular graham crackers to yield 1 1/2 cups.
- Lining the pan with parchment paper that overhangs the edges helps lift out the bars easily after baking.
- Crinkle parchment paper by crumpling it into a ball before lining the pan to help it adhere better to the sides.
- Allow bars to cool completely before cutting to avoid messy slices; refrigeration after cooling can further firm them for neater cuts.
