Description
These Magic Six Layer Bars are a simple yet delicious dessert made with just six ingredients. Layers of a buttery graham cracker crust, sweetened coconut, semi-sweet chocolate chips, chopped pecans, and sweetened condensed milk combine to create a rich, gooey treat perfect for sharing.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1½ cups (150g) graham cracker crumbs (10–10½ sheets)
- 1 stick (113g/8 tablespoons) butter, melted
- 1 cup (86g) shredded sweetened coconut
- 1 (12-ounce) package (2 cups/340g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup (114g) chopped pecans (or walnuts, or a mix)
- 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk (regular, not low-fat or fat-free)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350℉. Spray or grease a 9 x 13-inch baking pan, or line it with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs with melted butter. Stir until the mixture holds together. Press the crumb mixture into an even layer in the prepared pan.
- Evenly sprinkle the shredded coconut over the crust, then cover with the chocolate chips and chopped pecans. Pour the sweetened condensed milk evenly over the top.
- Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 26 to 30 minutes, until the edges turn golden and the top is lightly browned.
- Remove the pan from the oven and allow the bars to cool completely. Optionally, sprinkle with flaky sea salt. Once cooled, lift the bars out, slice into 24 bars, and enjoy.
- Store bars in an airtight container for up to 5 days at room temperature, refrigerate for longer freshness, or freeze for extended storage.
Notes
- For a different flavor, substitute walnuts for pecans.
- Use parchment paper for easy removal of bars.
- Sprinkle with sea salt for added flavor.
