Time 4h20m

Yield 25

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 1/3 cups (5 oz) mini pretzels, for the crumb crust, plus additional whole pretzels for topping
6 tablespoons melted butter
3 tablespoons sugar
1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk (397g), divided
1/4 cup (57g) smooth peanut butter
3/4 cups (100g) peanut butter chips
1/2 cup (100g) mini chocolate chips
1 1/2 cups (75g) unsweetened coconut flakes

Steps:

  • Prep pan: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line an 8x8-inch square baking pan with foil, allowing a couple inches to overhang down the side of the pan. Generously, coat with cooking spray or brush with melted butter. Set aside. If using a glass baking dish, lower the oven temperature to 325°F.
  • Bake the crust: Bake the crust until it feels firm to the touch and is slightly golden around the edges, about 10 minutes.
  • Cool: Remove the bars from the oven and cool on a cooling rack for 1 1/2 hours. Take out of the pan and remove foil. Continue cooling on rack for an additional 1 hour. Once bars reach room temperature, wrap in plastic wrap and chill in refrigerator for 2 hours or overnight. This will ensure that the bars slice cleanly with the least amount of crumbling. You can cut them once they've cooled to room temp, but the crust may crumble.
  • Serve and store: Once the bars are chilled, slice into 16 squares and serve. Store leftover magic bars in an air-tight container in the refrigerator for 7 days or at room temperature for 5 days.

Time 1h55m

Yield 48 bars

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter, melted, plus more for buttering the dish
2 cups graham cracker crumbs
One 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk

1 cup shredded, sweetened coconut

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a 9-by-13-inch baking dish.
  • Combine the melted butter and graham cracker crumbs in a small bowl with your hands (the mixture should hold together when squeezed). Pour the mixture into the prepared dish and press it into the bottom in an even layer, using the bottom of a measuring cup to help. Pour the sweetened condensed milk over the crumbs, then sprinkle the chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, pecans and coconut over the milk.
  • Bake until the sides are golden brown and begin to pull away from the dish, 30 to 40 minutes. Let cool completely in the dish. Cut into 48 small pieces (they are rich). The cookies can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

Categories     dessert

Time 2h20m

Yield 24 squares

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter, melted, plus more for buttering the dish
18 graham crackers
One 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk
2 cups milk chocolate chips
1 cup peanut butter chips
1 cup cocktail peanuts
One 10-ounce bag marshmallows

Steps:

  • Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Line a 9-by-13-inch broiler-proof baking dish with foil, leaving a 2-inch overhang on both sides. Butter the foil.
  • Pulse 14 of the graham crackers into fine crumbs in a food processor. Combine the melted butter and graham cracker crumbs in a medium bowl with your hands (the mixture should hold together when squeezed). Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and press it into the bottom in an even layer, using the bottom of a measuring cup to help. Pour the sweetened condensed milk over the crumbs. Then sprinkle the chocolate chips, peanut butter chips, and peanuts over the condensed milk. Break the remaining 4 graham crackers into chunks and sprinkle evenly over the top.
  • Bake until the sides are golden brown and begin to pull away from the baking dish, 30 to 35 minutes. Remove from the oven, and turn the broiler on. Scatter the marshmallows over the top of the bars and put the dish under the broiler until the marshmallows are dark golden and toasted, 3 to 4 minutes. Let cool completely then refrigerate to set, about 1 hour. Using the foil liner as handles, pull the bars out of the baking dish; remove the foil. Cut the bars into 2-inch squares.

  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing will make the bars tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Press the crust firmly into the pan: This will help to keep the bars from crumbling.
  • Bake the bars until the crust is golden brown and the filling is set: This will take about 25-30 minutes.
  • Let the bars cool completely before cutting them: This will help to prevent them from falling apart.
  • Store the bars in an airtight container at room temperature: They will keep for up to 3 days.
