Magic Bars (Hello Dolly Bars)
Magic Bars, also known as Hello Dolly Bars or Seven-Layer Cookies, are filled with the gooey deliciousness of coconut, dark chocolate, pecans, and caramel, all in a graham cracker crust. As it bakes, the coconut turns golden and toasty, the chocolate melts, and the sweetened condensed milk becomes a creamy caramel that holds it all together. It's a bar cookie that has it all, plus it's incredibly easy to make.

Ingredients
- 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 6 Tbs. unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup chopped pecans
- 1 cup dark or semisweet chocolate
- 1 cup sweetened flaked coconut
- 1 14. oz can sweetened condensed milk
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 13- x 9-inch pan. In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter and stir until well blended. Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan. Bake the crust until just set, 8 minutes.
- Sprinkle the pecans, then the chocolate chips, and coconut over the hot crust. Pour condensed milk over top. (Do not stir.)
- Bake until crust is golden brown and coconut begins to toast, about 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from the oven, set the pan on a wire rack, and let cool completely.
- To cut easily, let the bars sit in refrigerator for at least one hour before serving. Cut into 12 bars.
Notes
The Magic Bars can be stored in an airtight container at cool room temperature for up to 3 days. But if your kitchen runs hot, the best place to store them is in the refrigerator.
