Magic Cookie Bars

Magic Cookie Bars are layers upon layers of sweetness! This decadent treat is filled with butterscotch, chocolate, toffee, coconut and nuts.

This recipe has been floating around homes for a long time. You may already know it as 7 Layer Magic Bars. It can be easily tweaked to suit your tastes. I made mine with 8 layers with the addition of some toffee bits. If you don’t like an ingredient, just leave it out except maybe the crust because you’ll probably need that!

These bars are sublime. They are bursting with a variety of sweet flavors and different textures. I finished them off with a layer of almonds, walnuts and coconut.
