These really are Magic Bars! They’re so good and you wouldn’t believe how fun and easy they are to make. Get the kids involved and have fun with this fun dessert bar recipe.
The ingredients are easy to find but what we love most is that we use M&Ms. You can easily swap the M&Ms out for the holiday or even for your favorite theme colors.
HOW TO MAKE MAGIC BARS
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees and then prepare your 13×9 baking dish with foil or nonstick spray.
- Then you’ll mix together the melted peanut butter and sweetened condensed milk
- Now you’ll crush the graham cracker crumbs, only half. You can use a food processor or a good old bag and rolling pin. Mix the crumbs together with the melted butter and then press the mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan.
- Spread the chocolate chips/chunks, toffee and coconut onto the crust and then pour the peanut butter/milk mixture all over the top. Top with the M&MS.
- Now we can bake for 25-30 minutes, until the top is golden brown. Cool completely before cutting.
- To make it even more dressed up you can melt 1/2 cup of chocolate chips with 1/2 tbsp of vegetable oil in the microwave. Cook for 15 seconds at a time, stirring between each time; until completely melted. Using a fork, drizzle the chocolate all over the top of the bars and chill them for 15 minutes to set the chocolate.
Store any leftovers in a container and enjoy within 3 days.
The drizzle is totally optional but another great way to add your own flare by adding colored chocolate melts as well.
