You know you’re in for a treat when a dessert has \u201cmagic\u201d in the name. With Magic Cookie Bars, you\u2019re basically guaranteed it every time. The throwback dessert has been around for many years, and its popularity has endured.\n<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n Magic Cookie Bars first appeared in magazines and newspapers in the mid-1960s. The gooey bars aren\u2019t only known as Magic Cookie Bars, though. You may have heard them called Hello Dolly Bars or Seven Layer Bars.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n These names are essentially the same treat: a decadent but incredibly easy-to-make dessert bar with a graham-cracker crust and layers of nuts, chocolate chips, shredded coconut, and sweetened condensed milk.\n<\/p>\n Sarah<\/p>\n <\/span> <\/p>\n A large part of the bars\u2019 perpetual appeal is how simple they are to make. Besides measuring cups, you\u2019ll only need a 9-by-13-inch baking dish for baking the bars. You build the dessert right in the pan\u2014no mixing bowls are required.\n<\/p>\n Start by pouring melted margarine into a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Then, sprinkle graham cracker crumbs evenly over the melted margarine. Top with chopped nuts, chocolate chips, and flaked coconut. Pour a 14-ounce can of sweetened condensed milk over all the layered ingredients and pop it in the oven.\n<\/p>\n When baked, the graham cracker crumbs and margarine create a graham-cracker crust as a base for the bar. The condensed milk seeps through the remaining layers to glue everything together and form a cohesive bar. After baking, chill the bars for 15 minutes; they should be set enough to slice into individual bars.\n<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Based on Allrecipes user feedback, the recipe is a home run with a nearly perfect rating. Commenter J VB said, \u201cHad to cut them into 9 pieces and freeze 7 of them or they would be gone by tonight!!!\u201d Commenter Marita White Schappert said, \u201cI made these and some friends stopped by. I quickly offered them a piece. I emailed this recipe to 4 people since. They are easy and a win-win!\u201d\n<\/p>\n Other Allrecipes readers recommended combining the graham crackers and margarine before putting them in your baking dish and pressing them into the pan to form a more cohesive crust. If you can resist eating the bars right away, a longer rest time to allow the bars to set up may be worth your time. According to one reviewer, putting the bars in the freezer and eating them frozen is the way to go. And, of course, this simple recipe is flexible. You can use different nuts, add butterscotch chips, or even add a sprinkle of crushed pretzels to the top for a salty twist.<\/p>\n Get the recipe:<\/strong> Magic Cookie Bars<\/p>\n<\/div>\n You know you’re in for a treat when a dessert has \u201cmagic\u201d in the name.
