Description

These Divine 6 Ingredient Magic Cookie Bars are a simple and irresistible treat featuring layers of oats, coconut, cashews, chocolate chips, and a sweet condensed milk glaze. They come together quickly with minimal ingredients, producing rich, chewy bars that are perfect for dessert or a special snack.

Ingredients

Scale

Base and Toppings

  • 6 tablespoons salted butter
  • 1 1/2 cups unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 1 1/2 cups roasted cashews
  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup quick cooking rolled oats
  • 8 mini pretzel twists (optional)

Binding and Sweetener

  • 1 can (14 ounce) sweetened condensed milk

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350° F (175° C). Line a 9×9 inch baking dish with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
  2. Melt Butter: Place the 6 tablespoons of salted butter in the prepared pan and put it in the oven for about 5 minutes to melt the butter evenly.
  3. Layer Ingredients: Over the melted butter in the pan, layer the ingredients in this order: first spread the rolled oats evenly, followed by shredded coconut, then sprinkle 1 cup of the semi-sweet chocolate chips, add the roasted cashews next, and top with the remaining 1 cup of chocolate chips. If you like, arrange the mini pretzel twists on top for a salty crunch.
  4. Add Condensed Milk: Evenly pour the entire can (14 ounces) of sweetened condensed milk over the layered ingredients, ensuring all parts are covered to bind the bars together.
  5. Bake: Place the dish in the oven and bake for 30 minutes. The bars should be set and golden around the edges.
  6. Cool and Cut: Let the bars cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares. These bars may be a bit sticky and messy but are deliciously rich and satisfying.

Notes

  • You can substitute roasted cashews with other nuts like walnuts or pecans if preferred.
  • For a nut-free version, omit cashews entirely and consider adding more oats or coconut.
  • The mini pretzels add a nice texture and salty flavor but are optional.
  • Storing the bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator helps them stay firmer and easier to cut.
  • These bars are rich and sweet, so cutting into smaller portions can be satisfying without overindulging.
