Magic Cookie Bars are the ultimate crowd pleaser because they are so easy to put together. You just layer all the good stuff in a pan and let the oven do the work while the ingredients melt into a delicious gooey treat.

My best tip for these bars is to line your baking pan with parchment paper before you start. It makes it so much easier to lift the whole block out once it cools down, which leads to much cleaner slices.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/2 cup butter, melted
  • 1 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup M&Ms
  • 1/2 cup caramel bits
  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1 can sweetened condensed milk

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

  2. 2

    Mix the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter in a bowl until the texture resembles wet sand.

  3. 3

    Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9 by 9 inch baking pan to create an even crust.

  4. 4

    Sprinkle the chocolate chips, M&Ms, caramel bits, and oats evenly over the crust.

  5. 5

    Pour the sweetened condensed milk slowly over the top of the layers so it covers everything.

  6. 6

    Bake for 25 to 30 minutes until the edges are golden brown.

  7. 7

    Let the bars cool completely in the pan before you cut them into squares.

💡 Tips

Store these in an airtight container at room temperature for up to five days. If you like them firm, keep them in the refrigerator. These bars also freeze perfectly if you wrap them tightly in plastic wrap.
