Magic Bar Remake

Always looking for a simpler way or easier way to make a recipe. I remade this to suit my likes and simplified it.  First I’ll give you the recipe that caught my eye and then I’ll share my remake.  Warning:  They are extremely rich so cut your pieces small. 

2 cups crushed graham crackers or chocolate cookies

1/2 cup butter

2 cups chocolate chips

1 cup chopped pecans

1 ½  cup peanut butter/butterscotch or white chocolate chips

1 ½  cups shredded coconut

1 can sweetened condensed milk, 14 ounces

Preheat oven to 350°. Lightly spray a 9 x 13 pan with cooking spray, line with parchment paper fir ease in removing bars after baking for cutting.

Combine graham cracker or cookie crumbs and melted butter until evenly moistened. press crumb mixture into bottom of prepared pan to form the crust.  

Layer the chocolate chips, pecans, chips you have chosen, and then coconut evenly over entire pan.

Drizzle sweetened condensed milk over top of the coconut layer until completely covered and all of the milk is used.

Bake for about 25 minutes, just until coconut starts to turn golden on edges. Remove from oven and let cool completely before cutting into bars. Store in an airtight container.

Remake into Magic Pie 

2 chocolate pre-made pie crusts 

1 bag of your favorite chocolate chips

1 cup chopped pecans

1 bag of white chocolate chips

1 ½ cups shredded coconut

1 can sweetened condensed milk
Pinch of Kosher salt

Preheat oven to 350°.

Layer ½ of the chocolate chips, pecans, white chocolate chips, and coconut evenly over each pie crust. Then do the second pie crust.

Drizzle ½ can of sweetened condensed milk over the top of each coconut layer pie until completely covered and all of the milk is used on both. As a last touch, I'm sprinkling a pinch of Kosher salt on top to cut the sweetness just a bit.  That is optional.

Bake for about 20 to 25 minutes or until the coconut starts to turn golden on edges. Remove from oven and let cool completely before cutting.  Remember they are extra rich so cut 8 small pieces.  Store in an airtight container.

You can play with this and use butterscotch chips or even your favorite candy bars.  It is super simple for a dessert people won't forget.  A real plus is you don't have any dirty bowl or dishes to do.  Got to love that.

Hope you have a great Sunday.  Be happy and may God bless you and yours.
