Christmas Magic Cookie Bars
These Christmas Magic Cookie Bars layer a buttery graham crust with sweetened condensed milk, chocolate and butterscotch chips, shredded coconut, nuts, and festive M&Ms—perfect for holiday dessert tables and cookie swaps!
Ingredients
- 2 cups graham cracker crumbs about 200 g
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter 115 g, melted
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk 14 oz (Eagle Brand)
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips Toll House
- 1 cup butterscotch chips
- 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut optional
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans toasted
- 1/2 cup M&Ms red and green
- Fine salt a pinch
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9×13-inch pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy bar removal.
- Combine graham cracker crumbs with melted butter until the mixture resembles damp sand, then press firmly into the pan and chill for 5 minutes.
- Pour sweetened condensed milk evenly over the chilled crust, tilting the pan so it coats every corner.
- Sprinkle semi-sweet chocolate chips and butterscotch chips in an even layer on top of the condensed milk.
- Evenly distribute shredded coconut, chopped pecans, and M&Ms over the chip layers, pressing lightly so they stick.
- Bake for 18–22 minutes until the edges are golden and the center is gently bubbling.
- Allow bars to cool in the pan for 30 minutes, then chill 1–2 hours for cleaner cuts before lifting out and slicing into 16 squares.
Notes
For chewier bars, swap half the coconut with chopped dried cranberries. Bars can be frozen up to 3 months.
