Seven Layer Magic Bars
Seven Layer Magic Bars are a layered dessert bar featuring a buttery graham cracker crust topped with chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, sweetened coconut, and walnuts. Sweetened condensed milk poured over the layers binds the ingredients during baking to form a dense, chewy treat. Once cooled, the bars set firm enough for clean slicing, offering a combination of crunchy, gooey, and nutty textures.
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.
