Magical Cookie Bars #SundayFunday

 Did your Mom make Magic Bars when your were a kid?  My Mom used to make them all the time.  These delicious bar cookies start with a graham cracker crust, topped with sweetened condensed milk, chocolate chips, peanut butter chips, pecans and coconut.  The end result is Magical.....hence the name.

Sue of Palatable Pastime is hosting today and sent out this fun invitation:

"It's Midsummer and the Faerie mischief is afoot. Let's make a tribute to the fae ones with a recipe that will delight them. Looking for: Love potions, faerie cakes, recipes using flowers or herbs, small bites, delicate desserts, or recipes that remind of fairy tales"

My mind immediately went back to my childhood and these Magic Bars.  I hope they bring back fond memories for you or if you haven't got those memories that you make these bars and create some.

Let's see what magic the others have created today.......

I think you'll agree that the taste is Magical too.  There is a reason these were named magic bars as you will see the minute you bite into all that ooey, gooey, caramelly deliciousness.

    1. They are good but very rich. That's why it makes 24 servings. However, my neighbor ate 4 of them and took a plate home so perhaps the serving size could be a little larger LOL
