Abracadabra Magic Cookie Bars

M

Magician or not? You can skip the magic wand and pull out your favorite spoon for this super easy and most delicious Magic Cookie Bars recipe. There’s no need to be a magician to feel like you’re creating magic this summer. You’ll be creating magic greatness just by using only 6 ingredients for the coconut and chocolate lovers in your life. The best part is pulling back the curtain and catching your friends and family sneaking bites!

Easy Peasy Pleasy Tips

  • Heading to friends or family this summer…Bake in an aluminum pan so there’s no need to clean or bring home a baking dish.
  • No throw-away pan, no problem. Line a glass baking dish with parchment paper for easy removal. Make sure the parchment paper hangs over the sides to make lifting these Magic Cookie Bars out easily. Cut and package in your favorite toss-away container.
  • Short on time? Mix up a batch of Magic Cookie Bars a day or 2 ahead of time, and they will still be delicious on the event day.
  • The original recipe calls for semi-sweet chocolate chips, but I went straight for the milk chocolate chips. Pick your favorite flavor of chocolate. Semi-sweet, milk chocolate, dark chocolate, and white chocolate are all great combinations with coconut.
