Magic Bars

These bars are incredible!!! Growing up I ate something like this at Bruegger's Bagels down in Raleigh, NC. I'm not sure if Brueggers are still selling them, or if they are the same bar. Some people call this a "seven-layer" bar, but since I've ditched the nuts it doesn't quite make "seven" layers! You can play around with this recipe substituting one kind of baking chips for another, etc., but my favorites are chocolate and butterscotch. Keep a glass of milk nearby while eating these!


Magic Bars

Ingredients:
1 1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs
1 stick of butter
1 can sweetened condensed milk
handful of toffee chips (if desired)
1 bag of butterscotch chips
1 bag of chocolate chips (semi-sweet or dark is best in my opinion)
1 1/2 cups coconut (or so)


Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line a 13x8 pan with aluminum foil. Melt the stick of butter in the baking pan in the oven.
Sprinkle the graham cracker crumbs onto the butter, mix and press to make a firm-ish crust with butter evenly distributed.
Pour the can of sweetened condensed milk over the top of the crust.
Sprinkle a handful of toffee chips over the milk.
Follow suit with the bag of butterscotch chips, taking care to evenly distribute the chips.
Do the same with the chocolate chips.
And also with the coconut. :-)

Back for 25 minutes or until lightly browned.

Try not to keep them all to yourself!
