Sweetened condensed milk is drizzled over a buttery graham cracker crust, chocolate chips for an easy anytime treat.

This magic cookie bars recipe (AKA 7-Layer Bars or Hello Dolly Bars) is a retro recipe created around 1968. They’re sweet and a little chewy!

Crust – Butter and graham cracker crumbs are pressed into the bottom of the pan. So easy! Sweetened Condensed Milk – Condensed milk is the ‘glue’ that holds everything together. Coconut – Use either sweetened or unsweetened flaked coconut. Nuts – I most often use pecans but walnuts, peanuts, or almonds work as well. Chips – I use either all chocolate chips or a combination of butterscotch chips, peanut butter chips, or white chocolate chips.

These magic bars couldn’t be easier to make.

Store the magic cookie bars in an airtight container at room temperature for a few days or in the refrigerator for up to one week. Keep them tightly wrapped in the freezer for up to 3 months.
