Holiday Magic Cookie Bars Recipes

MAGIC COOKIE BARS RECIPE

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Position a rack in the center of the oven and heat to 350 F. Line a 13x9 inch baking dish with parchment paper so the parchment hangs over on the two longest sides. Generously grease with butter.
• Use a food processor to grind the graham cracker into a semi-fine meal.
• Add the brown sugar and pulse several times to incorporate.
• With the processor running, slowly add the 1/2 cup butter until well combined.
• Add the graham cracker mixture to the prepared pan, pressing firmly to create an even crust on the bottom.
• Pour the sweetened condensed milk over the crust and smooth in an even layer with a silicone spatula.
• Sprinkle half of the chopped chocolate, half of the butterscotch chips, and half the pecans evenly over the condensed milk.
• Sprinkle the coconut flakes over the mixture in an even layer.
• Sprinkle the remaining chocolate, butterscotch, and nuts evenly over the coconut.
• Sprinkle the flaky sea salt evenly over the mixture.
• Bake for 28 to 32 minutes, or until the toppings are slightly golden brown.
• Remove from the oven and cool on a wire rack, about 15 minutes.
• Use the excess parchment to lift the bars from the baking dish. Cut into equal size pieces, 12 to 24 bars, depending upon preference, and serve.
