mm yum!!! Magic Bars. I bought the ingredients to make those during the holidays & never made them. There was so much junk around already that we could not eat all of. Maybe I will make them for my Birthday next weekend. I bought graham cracker crumbs & wondered what I bought them for. Now I know after reading this post. LOL!!!

Re: 7 Layer Cookie Bars

[ Edited ]

When I make bar cookies, I always line the 9 x 18 with aluminum foil and leave about eight inches hanging over the ends.  I grease the aluminum lining of the pan as if it weren't there.  I make the cookies, then when cool, you just pick up the ends and lift onto a cutting board.

 It will give you much nicer pieces.

 

You can do this for fudge too.

     What a great idea for portion control!  Please do share the reduced amount recipe.  I'd love to have that.

     Tell us more about this "Dessert for Two" cookbook, if you don't mind.  Do they have recipes for small portions of cakes and pies?  Also, do they have a recipe for chocolate chip cookies?

Hello Yummy Bars Jill Bauer
Jill's Note:
There are a lot of versions of Hello Dolly or Magic Bars…but this recipe is from my childhood bestie, Emily, and I think it takes top prize. The addition of toffee bits and the Teddy Graham crust make these enjoyable!

Ingredients:
3/4 cup butter, melted
1 box chocolate chip Teddy Graham cookies, finely crushed
1 bag English Toffee bits (in the baking section)
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1 cup chopped pecans or shredded coconut
1 can (14-oz) sweetened condensed milk
Preparation:
Preheat oven to 325°F.
Line a 9" x 13" pan with nonstick foil, allowing it to extend over the ends of the pan. Pour the melted butter into the pan. Sprinkle the cookie crumbs in the bottom of the pan and press firmly. Bake for 5 minutes.
Layer the toffee bits, chocolate, and pecans or shredded coconut over the crust in the pan, pressing each layer down firmly. Pour the condensed milk on top. Bake for 30 minutes, or until the edges are lightly browned. Cool on the counter and then put the pan in the refrigerator for a couple of hours before trying to remove the dessert from the pan.
Lift the foil out of the pan, turn the bars over, and use a serrated knife to cut them into squares.
