Deliciously rich and easy-to-make 7-Layer Bars, also known as Magic Cookie Bars, featuring a buttery graham cracker crust layered with chocolate chips, white chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, chopped pecans, sweetened condensed milk, and shredded coconut, baked to golden perfection.

Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs (store-bought or homemade by pulsing 10 graham crackers)
  • 10 tablespoons salted butter, melted

Toppings

  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • ½ cup white chocolate chips
  • ½ cup butterscotch chips
  • ½ cup chopped pecans
  • 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal. Lightly grease the parchment with cooking spray and set aside.
  2. Make the crust: In a medium-sized bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Stir with a fork until well mixed.
  3. Form the crust layer: Press the graham cracker mixture firmly into the prepared pan to form an even layer. Use a fork or the back of a measuring cup to help create a smooth, compact base.
  4. Layer the toppings: Evenly sprinkle the semi-sweet chocolate chips, white chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, and chopped pecans over the graham cracker crust.
  5. Add condensed milk: Pour the sweetened condensed milk evenly over the chocolate chip mixture, covering as much of the surface as possible.
  6. Top with coconut: Sprinkle the shredded coconut in an even layer over the condensed milk.
  7. Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and slightly caramelized.
  8. Cool and serve: Let the bars cool completely in the pan before slicing into squares with a sharp knife. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

  • Make sure to fully cool the bars before slicing to prevent crumbling.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
  • For a nut-free version, omit the pecans or substitute with seeds.
  • Use parchment paper for easy removal and to avoid sticking.
  • Customize by adding dried fruit or different types of chocolate chips as desired.
