Magic Bars...Original and Chocolate!



I completely spaced sending these recipes to a friend so I am blogging them. If you haven't had Magic Bars you are missing out. They are a favorite at my house and I have made them two ways. One with a graham cracker base and one with brownie as the base.

MAGIC BARS

1/2 cup butter
1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1 can condensed milk (14 oz.)
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 cup butterscotch chips
1 1/3 cups coconut
1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans

Preheat oven to 350. Melt butter in a 9x13 pan. Sprinkle graham crumbs over butter in pan. Carefully drizzle condensed milk over the top trying to get it as even as possible. Sprinkle chocolate chips over the top, followed by butterscotch chips. Then sprinkle coconut followed by the nuts. With your hand , press down slightly all over. Bake at 350 for around 25 minutes or until lightly brown. Cut when cool. Enjoy!

The Chocolate Magic Bar
The recipe is the same except....instead of graham crackers you use a brownie mix(8x8 or 9x9 whatever). Melt butter in 9x13 pan sprinkle dry brownie mix evenly over the top. Follow the above recipe.

Have to admit those are a family favorite! It never would be Christmas without them or any time of the year. I ran across a cookie recipe with the same ingredients plus a few more. I'll give it a try and then share - Love Mom xxoo
