Magic Cookie Bars - Simply Elliott

You know those desserts that you had as a kid that just stick with you? Well this is one of those! I remember begging my mom to make these for just about any occasion. They are the perfect treat to have instead of the usual cookies or brownies, and I love all things with coconut. I’ve been wanting to share this recipe for a while now, so with Valentines Day right around the corner, and the need for treats, I thought this would be the perfect time!

Ingredients:

1/2 cup butter
1 1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs (or use a food processor to make your own from the crackers!)
1 (14oz) can Sweetened Condensed Milk
1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate morsels
1 cup chopped nuts (we use pecans)
1- 1 1/2 cups flaked coconut

Instructions:

preheat oven to 350 degrees & have 9×13 pan ready (do 325 degrees if using glass)
melt butter, then spread on bottom of pan
sprinkle cracker crumbs over butter
pour condensed milk evenly over crumbs
top with chocolate, nuts, then coconut
press down gently
bake 25-30 mins or until lightly browned
cool before cutting, then enjoy!
