I’ve always loved Seven Layer Bars or Magic Bars.
Same recipe but people call it by different names depending on where they live.
The bars are super soft, gooey, decadent, and have an amazing amount of texture and different flavors in every bite.
It’s a one-bowl, no mixer recipe that’s fast, easy, and goofproof. Waiting for them to cool is the hardest part.
Rather than making the bars with a classic graham cracker crust, I made a chocolate chip cookie crust. I used one package of Pamela’s Gluten-Free Chocolate Chunk Cookie Mix. The crust is so easy because all you do is stir together melted butter, the mix, an egg, and press it into the pan. The cookie crust was a great twist and we loved it.
Adding chocolate chips boosts the overall chocolate factor, and instead of the traditional butterscotch chips I used peanut butter chips because you can never have too much peanut butter.
The coconut adds chewiness and texture while the creamy sweetened condensed milk coats the ingredients and gives the bars their signature gooey factor. And just like magic, the bars disappeared so fast.
