Ingredients
Method
Techniques
- 1 stick butter
Melt the stick of butter and swirl it over the base of a 13x9 baking dish.
Magic cookie bars and a butter base
- 1½ cup graham cracker crumbs
Add one and a half cups of graham cracker crumbs and spread gently with a spatula without mashing into the butter.
Graham cracker crumb layer
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk
- unsweetened shredded coconut
Pour the 14-ounce can of sweetened condensed milk evenly over; tilt the dish to spread it rather than using a spatula, which lifts the crumbs.
Pouring the condensed milk
- 2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Preheat the oven to 350; scatter two cups of chocolate chips in an even layer.
Chocolate chips and nuts
- 1 cup chopped toasted nuts
Sprinkle a cup of chopped toasted nuts, then the coconut, generously and evenly.
Bake 25 minutes, then another five if wanted for a darker, toastier top.
