MAGIC COOKIE BARS
This vintage recipe dates back heaven knows how long. I’m always surprised when people have never heard of them. The reason I’m posting this recipe is that my sister called surprised saying, “You don’t have a recipe for Magic Cookie Bars on your site?!”
I said that I didn’t because I assumed everyone knew the recipe by heart but apparently although small, there are many variations of these out there.
MAGIC COOKIE BAR INGREDIENTS:
- graham crackers
- sweetened condensed milk
- chocolate chips
- butterscotch chips
- shredded coconut
- chopped pecans
VARIATIONS:
- use milk chocolate chips instead
- omit the butterscotch chips
- switch it up and add peanut butter chips
- don’t love coconut? Leave it out.
EVAPORATED MILK VS SWEETENED CONDENSED MILK
These are not the same and cannot be used in place of another. Sweetened condensed milk is much more sweet and thick whereas evaporated milk is thinner.
STORAGE:
These can be stored at room temperature in a resealable container for up to 3 days, kept in the fridge for up to 5 days, and frozen for up to two months.
