Instead of putting sea salt on to offset the sweetness, I would add salted cashews. If u like cashews, u will love this!! Also, I put in butterscotch chips, instead of peanutbutter chips. 30 yrs. ago that is what was on the recipe wrapper, that wrapped around the sweetened condensed milk can. (Magic Cookie Bar recipe made with choc. chips and butterscotch chips) On that can is where I first heard of MAGIC COOKIE BARS!! They are SO good!!

You seem like such a loving husband and a doting dad...and you’re just about cuter than a speckled pup! I couldn’t enjoy watching and listening to you any more than I do! Thanks for the best videos.

Magic Cookie bars has been a Christmas tradition since I was just a little kid. I'm 67 now and still make a huge batch every year. I cannot imagine Christmas without my magic cookie bars. It's such a versatile recipe you can change it so much it's amazing

My family has been doing these for years. We call them 7 layer bars. Same recipe however we’ve always used butterscotch chips not peanut butter. Yummy!

Thanks for sharing. My Mom passed away last December and she would make these for the holidays. She called them "Hello Dollys". This was sweet to see during Mother's Day weekend.

Love these! Instead of using graham crackers, I substitute a sleeve of saltines...gives you that light, crispy base, and the saltiness of the crackers balances all the sweetness! ♡

My mom always made these for her so much.

When I was a kid (a VERY long time ago) we watched the Mike Douglas Show. One week he had Carol Channing on as a co-host and she made these bars. At that time they were called "Hello Dolly Bars" because she was on Broadway doing "Hello Dolly" and apparently made them for the cast. These were always a special treat for us and my favorite pieces were the corners because they were crunchier! We had no peanut butter chips back then, so we only used the semi-sweet chocolate chips. Later on, they were simply called Magic Cookie I still have my late mother's recipe card that says "Hello Dolly Bars".

Just made these today. They are fabulous! I was pleasantly surprised they were not as sweet as I'd expected. Just the right amount of sweetness!

[roseyberry]

I made these again for my hubby and me, of course! Magic bars are his favorite! I made these and your peanut butter blossoms cookies today! Both so yummy 😋

I just discovered these cookie bars. I have made them now in many different ways, with Chocolate & Mint chips; salted caramel chips; and with miniature dried marshmallows (the kind that come in hot cocoa packets) instead of coconut (some in my family can't have it) - they are all fabulous and it's fun to experiment. Our favorite by far has been the Chocolate Mint ones!

Awww!! I LOVE THESE!! My Granma Stone use to make these at Christmas time and bring these and Peanut butter and Chocolate Fudge too. She passed last summer. So it’s kinda bittersweet thinkin’ about it. 💜💜💜💜

Yum 😋 would love to make these minus the coconut

[gigicoogler]

So many ways to make these bars. It really is substituting what one’s preferences are. I actually began with butterscotch and hubby loves peanut butter. He loves all nuts but walnuts which is part of many recipes. Me? Pick and choose you never lose. Hugs 🥰
