Seven Layer Magic Cookie Bar Recipe
Description
The recipe begins by making a graham cracker crust mixed with melted butter pressed into a greased pan. Sweetened condensed milk is poured over the crust followed by even layers of semi-sweet chocolate chips, flaked coconut, and chopped walnuts and pecans. Once assembled, the bars bake until they begin to lightly brown and the condensed milk melds the ingredients.
After cooling slightly, the bars are loosened from the pan edges for easy removal and cut into squares. The final texture of these bars is dense and chewy inside with a slightly crisp top where ingredients meet the heat. The combination of chocolate, coconut, and nuts offers a balance of richness, sweetness, and crunch.
Using foil to line the pan makes removing the bars simpler and helps maintain their shape during cooling and cutting. The dessert stores well when tightly covered, making it suitable for make-ahead or gifting.
Ingredients
- Non-stick cooking spray
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/2 cup butter melted
- 1 oz sweetened condensed milk Eagle Brand
- 2 cups chocolate chips semi-sweet
- 1 1/3 cups coconut flaked
- 1 cup nuts walnuts and pecans work well, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 13 x 9 inch pan with non-stick cooking spray. Make sure to spray the interior sides well.
- In a medium size bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter and mix until well combined. Pour mixture into prepared baking pan and gently press to create a crust that covers the entire bottom of the pan.
- Pour sweetened condensed milk evenly over crumb crust. Evenly sprinkle chocolate chips, coconut and nuts over condensed milk layer. Gently press down with a fork.
- Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until begining to lightly brown. Remove from oven and allow to cool for approximately 5-10 minutes. Then, while still warm, loosen bars from the side of the pan gently to prevent them from sticking. Cut into bars. Store tightly covered.
Notes
- Line the baking pan with foil extending over the edges and coat with cooking spray to make bar removal easier.
- After baking and slight cooling, use foil edges to lift bars out gently to prevent sticking and breaking.
- Store bars tightly covered to keep them fresh after cutting.
