Magic Cookie Bars

Magic Cookie Bars played a key role in my childhood. There was never a visit to my Granny Angus' without having a Magic Cookie Bar. This was one of her two staple bars that were ALWAYS made and ready to be served... These bars are great for a crowd, to serve with tea, to serve as part of a dessert platter...You name it, these bars deliver!


Ingredients 

1/2 cup butter or margarine, melted
1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1 (14 ounce) can Sweetened Condensed Milk
2 cups of semisweet chocolate morsels (I used one cup of butterscotch chips and one cup of chocolate chips)
1 1/3 cups of  flaked coconut
1 cup of chopped nuts (I used toasted walnuts)

Heat oven to 350F. Coat 13x9-inch baking pan with no-stick cooking spray. 

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. 


Bake 25 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool. Cut into bars or diamonds. Store covered at room temperature.
