7-Layer Bars (Magic Cookie Bars)


  • Author: WAFA LI

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1½ cups (180g) graham cracker crumbs (or gluten-free cookie crumbs)
  • ⅓ cup (75g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup butterscotch chips (or white chocolate chips)
  • 1½ cups sweetened shredded coconut
  • 1 cup chopped pecans or walnuts

Instructions

  1. Prep: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×13″ baking pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang.
  2. Make crust: Mix graham crumbs and melted butter. Press firmly into bottom of pan.
  3. Layer (in order):
    • Chocolate chips
    • Butterscotch chips
    • Shredded coconut
    • Chopped nuts
  4. Pour: Drizzle sweetened condensed milk evenly over all layers—do not stir.
  5. Bake 25–30 minutes, until golden brown and bubbly at edges.
  6. Cool completely in pan on a wire rack (at least 2 hours)—this is key for clean cuts!
  7. Lift out using parchment, then cut into squares or bars.
💡 Pro Tips:
Press crust firmly to prevent crumbling.
– For custom flavors: Swap butterscotch for peanut butter chips, or add dried fruit.
– Store in an airtight container at room temp up to 5 days or freeze for 2 months.
