Make these simple, chewy Magic Cookie Bars, also known as Seven Layer Bars or Hello Dolly Bars. This one-pan dessert uses a buttery graham cracker crust and layers of chocolate chips, coconut, and sweetened condensed milk for a comforting treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup butterscotch chips
  • 1 1/2 cups flaked coconut, sweetened
  • 1 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a 9×13 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
  2. Combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter in a medium bowl. Press this mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan to form the crust.
  3. Sprinkle the chocolate chips evenly over the crust.
  4. Sprinkle the butterscotch chips over the chocolate chips.
  5. Distribute the sweetened coconut evenly over the chips.
  6. If using, sprinkle the chopped nuts over the coconut layer.
  7. Slowly pour the entire can of sweetened condensed milk evenly over all the layers. Do not stir.
  8. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the condensed milk is bubbly.
  9. Remove the pan from the oven and let the bars cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Cooling is necessary for clean cutting.
  10. Once cool, lift the bars out using the parchment paper overhang. Cut into squares.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, use a mix of milk and dark chocolate chips.
  • If you omit the nuts, you can substitute with an extra 1/2 cup of chocolate chips or butterscotch chips.
  • Allow the bars to cool for at least two hours before slicing for the best, chewiest texture.
