How to make Magic Cookie Bars

Want an easy and incredibly delicious dessert? This is it. Everyone loves it. It used to be included in ads for Eagle Brand Sweetened Condensed Milk. I have seen the recipe with the same ingredients but in different orders.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• 1 Stick Butter (1/2 Cup)
• 1 1/2 Cups Graham Craker Crumbs
• 1 Cup Walnuts, coarsely chopped
• 1 Cup Chocolate Chips
• 1 1/3 Cups Coconut
• 1 can Eagle Brand Sweetened Condensed Milk
• 13 X 9 1/2 baking pan
• gallon ziploc bag
• rolling pin

1. 
   Preparing butter to melt in the oven

   Preheat oven to 350 degrees (or 325 for a glass pan), place pan in oven while pre heating with butter in it so that the butter will melt. I usually cut the stick into smaller pieces so it will melt quickly and evenly.

2. 
   Breaking up the graham crackers

   Place about 8 - 10 graham crackers in a large ziploc bag, break them up in the bag, and then using a rolling pin, completely crumble the crackers.

3. 
   chopped walnuts

   Coarsely chop walnuts.

4. 
   melted butter

   When Butter is melted remove pan from oven.

5. 

   Evenly sprinkle graham cracker crumbs across bottom of pan in the melted butter.

6. 

   Sprinkle chopped walnuts across pan.

7. 

   Sprinkle chocolate chips across pan.

8. 

   Sprinkle coconut across pan.

9. 

   Pour Sweetened Condensed Milk evenly across top of coconut.

10. 

    Place in oven and bake for about 25 minutes or until coconut starts to turn brown.

11.

    Cool and then cut into pieces.

12. Eat and savor the wonderful taste. Try not to eat too many. They are very rich.

Tips & Warnings

• Try different types of nuts
• Try different types of chocolate chips
• Change different order of items
• These are very addictive and too many will make you fat
• Make sure they cool before cutting and eating. If they are hot they will be gooey and hard to handle. And you can burn your mouth on hot ingredients.

on 9/24/2008 Nice recipe and pictures. I love recipes that have condensed milk, because they are good for camping and boating, when you can't keep much fresh milk.
