Magic Cookie Bars

My cousin, Farah, used to make these all the time in Atlanta and they were soooo good! I recently saw Paula Deen making them on her show on the food network and was surprised at how easy they are to make and only take like 5 minutes to prep.

Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups of Graham Crackers crumbs (I mashed them up in a food processor)
1 stick of butter, melted
a couple handfuls of the following:
  • semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • butterscotch chips
  • peanut butter chips
  • chopped pecans (or whatever nut you would like to use)
  • shredded coconut
one can (14 oz.) sweetened condensed milk

You can really add or take away any toppings you like with this, cranberries, raisins, all sorts of nuts, bite-sized candies, mini halal marshmallows, caramel, etc. The above are just the most typical toppings, and the ones I used.

Mix together the graham cracker crumbs and the melted butter to form a sort of dough. Press the crumb-butter mixture down into a greased/non-stick sprayed baking dish (I used 13x9 inch dish). Sprinkle on the toppings, one by one, and then drizzle on the entire can of condensed milk until the surface is covered with it. Bake at 350 for about 30 minutes. Let cool completely and enjoy!
