Soft-baked graham cracker cookie bars with butterscotch, coconut, chocolate, and pecans. A supreme form of the classic magic bar/hello dolly bar.
Thanks for visiting Day 7 of Sally’s Cookie Palooza. Just focus and shoot tired of cookies ye&...
Ha! I'm able to’t even finish typing that sentence. Obviously you aren’t.
Well, we really take a brief break from cookies today. Cookie bars take presctiption recption menus and also you’re absolutely likely to love them.
Traditional Magic Bars, also referred to as Hello Dolly Bars or 7 Layer Bars, really are a layered dessert bar having a crumbly graham cracker crust, then capped with layers of butterscotch, coconut, chocolate, and nuts. Everything sticks together from gooey sweetened condensed milk that caramelizes on the top when baked.
In a nutshell&... magic bars are all you love all-in-one.
Now? I built them into better still. That’s right. I discontinued the beaten path making a conventional magic cookie bar&... thicker, softer, overloaded, and downright ultimate !
Here’s that which you’re likely to do.
- Stop that which you’re doing at this time and begin preheating your oven.
- Don’t create a graham cracker crust. Create a graham cracker butterscotch cookie crust.
- Layer that cookie crust with chocolate, coconut, and pecans.
- Ton the wonderful layers with sweetened condensed milk.
Oh I'm able to’t even handle it!
So&... the crust. It could just be my personal favorite part relating to this recipe. It’s just like a thick graham cracker having a super soft texture. Should you’re at all like me, you crumble graham crackers up to your yogurt. No? Just me?
You’ll result in the same graham cracker cookie bar that you simply made here. (Have you ever made individuals? Get it done.) Then add butterscotch chips into it and pre-bake it for any quick a few minutes when you obtain the other ingredients ready.
On the top from the pre-baked crust, layer 1 cup choc chips, 3/4 cup shredded coconut, and 1/2 cup chopped pecans.
You know what? You are able to alter individuals amounts. Love coconut? Add a bit more. Don’t like nuts? Leave them out and replace more choc chips or coconut. There's lots of space to alter the toppings. Enjoy it! Kevin even recommended peanut butter cups the next time. I understood I had been marrying this man for any reason.
Top with 8 ounces of sweetened condensed milk, that is a nothing more than 1 / 2 of a typical 14 oz can. Before baking, I put additional butterscotch chips on the top. I'm a fool for butterscotch. aren’t you?
When the cookie bars are carried out within the oven, you need to allow them to awesome. If you’re self-control has not been tested before&... it will likely be tested now. Should you reduce the bars too soon, the layers will break apart and also you’ll have a gooey mess. Which, umm&... still tastes quite good in my opinion.
But seriously. Allow the bars awesome. Since I Have do not have persistence, I increased the procedure and stuck them within the refrigerator after half an hour of cooling around the counter. It is best to perform the same. The earlier you are able to dig in!
They’re soft, they’re thick, they’re soft, they’re ultimate! Layers upon layers of goodness. A lot of darn tastes and textures. Your tastebuds come in paradise. They’ll function as the star associated with a dessert platter!
What exactly did we all do using these bad boys? After sampling a number of following the photo shoot, Kevin’s friend came to visit. (I’m starting to believe that his buddies stop by only for the baked goods we also have around.) We sent him off with the remainder of those ultimate cookie bars. I received a text soon after.
&"These won’t last the entire vehicle ride.&"
Yeah, I hear ya Dave. I hear ya.
Now start some ultimate baking!

Thank you for this recipe! They are great! I put half the quantity of butterscotch chips within the crust which labored for me personally since the bars were just a little too sweet for me personally. I'll try tinkering with evaporated milk and sugar rather of condensed milk the next time.
Continue the truly amazing work Sally!
