This Easy 7-layer Magic Cookie Bars recipe is one of the yummiest desserts you'll ever make! They combine a caramelized layer of coconut, chocolate chips, and chopped pecans baked on a buttery graham cracker crust! And it only takes 20 minutes to prep and less than 25 minutes to bake!
2cupsGraham Cracker Crumbs(about 18 full Graham cracker sheets)
½cupUnsalted Butter(melted)
1cupSemi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
1cupChopped Pecans
1cupShredded Coconut Flakes
14ozSweetened Condensed Milk
1tablespoonSea Salt Flakes(optional topping (do not use table/kosher salt as a replacement))
Instructions
Adjust the oven rack to the 2nd or 3rd level (above middle) and preheat the oven 350ºF. Lightly spray an 8-inch square baking pan with a flour based baking spray. Optionally, you can fit the pan with a parchment paper sleeve. Set to the side.
Mix your graham cracker crumbs together with the melted unsalted butter until well blended, then spread the mixture into the bottom of the prepared 8-inch baking pan, patting it down to create an even layer.
2 cups Graham Cracker Crumbs, ½ cup Unsalted Butter
Add the layer of semi-sweet chocolate chips, followed by the chopped pecans, then the coconut flakes.
1 cup Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips, 1 cup Chopped Pecans, 1 cup Shredded Coconut Flakes
Pour the sweetened condensed milk over the top, spreading it out evenly (as best you can—don't worry if the coconut starts to mix in as you do this). Sprinkle with some sea salt flakes over the top (optional).
14 oz Sweetened Condensed Milk, 1 tablespoon Sea Salt Flakes
Bake for 20-25 minutes at 350ºF until the top is a light golden brown.
Cool completely on a wire cooling rack, then cut into squares.
Keep the bars stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container.
