How to Freeze Magic Cookie Bars
- Magic cookie bars freeze perfectly but there is a trick to it because they are slightly ooey and gooey, so they take an extra step to freeze.
- Cut the magic bars into the size that you want to freeze them.
- Place the cookie bars onto a parchment lined baking sheet.
- Freeze them until they are solid.
- Place the bars into a container and layer them between parchment paper to ensure that they don’t stick together.
- Cover the container and freezer for up to 3 months.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup salted butter melted
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1 14 ounce can sweetened condensed milk
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 1/3 cups flaked coconut
- 1 cup chopped nuts'
Instructions
- Pre-heat your oven to 350° F, or to 325 °F if you are using a glass dish.
- Spray a 9x13 pan with cooking spray, or line with parchment paper and set aside for later.
- Combine the graham cracker crumbs and the salted butter until the graham crumbs are moistened with the butter throughout.
- Press the mixture into the bottom of your prepared prepared pan.
- Pour the sweetened condensed milk evenly over the graham crumb crust.
- Sprinkle even layers of the chocolate chips, coconut and the nuts, making sure they are mixed on the top evenly. ( you want a little of each all over the place)
- Press these down firmly with the back of a spoon into the condensed milk ( but don't break through to the crust.!)
- Bake for 25 minutes in your preheated oven or until lightly browned all over. If you notice the top browning too fast you can cover with tinfoil for a few minutes and keep baking. Remove and cool.
- Cool the bars completely before slicing.
- Cut into bars or diamonds.
- Store covered at room temperature or in a closed container in the freezer for up to 3 months.
