Magic Cookie Bars (a.k.a Seven Layer Bars)
« on: August 11, 2010, 05:11:29 PM »
Hi Umpa!

I hope I'm not overloading you with recipes requests for the FTS bakery :)  I can't believe I haven't asked for this one yet.  These are one of my all time favorite goodies.  Maybe you have already done something similar?  They are called by a lot of names, normally Magic Cookie or Seven Layer bars.  You can definitely change up the ingredients a bit (i.e. chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, or peanut butter chips; any kind of nuts, etc), but the ingredients that are always there are the graham cracker crust, the sweetened condensed milk, and the coconut.  They are so easy too (at least the SUGAR version)! 


Ingredients

    * 1/2 cup butter or margarine, melted
    * 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
    * 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
    * 2 cups semisweet chocolate morsels
    * 1 1/3 cups flaked coconut
    * 1 cup chopped nuts, any kind

Directions

   1. Heat oven to 350 degrees F (325 degrees for glass dish). Coat 13x9-inch baking pan with no-stick cooking spray.
   2. Combine graham cracker crumbs and butter. Press into bottom of prepared pan. Pour sweetened condensed milk evenly over crumb mixture. Layer evenly with chocolate chips, coconut and nuts. Press down firmly with a fork.
   3. Bake 25 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool. Cut into bars or diamonds. Store covered at room temperature.


THANK YOU!!!!

Yes sorry beebs, those pictures are SUGAR version!  They were just for umpa to get an idea of what the bars look like.  Hopefully the FTS ones will look and taste as good!!!

Umpa---I found this website where someone created a sugar free version of the Magic Cookie Bars.  But their version sounds kinda complicated...maybe you can do better!
