Ultimate Magic Bars

The classic recipe of Magic Bars made even sweeter with caramel condensed milk, lots of coconut, milk chocolate chips, and toasted pecans makes the ultimate sweet dessert!

With endless invites to barbecues and hosting quite a few of our own, I am always on the lookout for great dessert ideas! In the heat of the summer, I look for quick and easy desserts some no-bake and others that require a little baking time! 

When creating a dessert I look for something sweet, feeds a crowd, easy, kids can help in the kitchen, flavors everyone will love, and can be paired with a scoop of ice cream! Hmmm, what works best this time? 

Classic, ooey, gooey, super sweet Magic Bars made even sweeter. Instead of regular sweetened condensed milk let’s use caramel! Let’s add more chocolate and coconut, and toasted pecans! These Ultimate Magic Bars will knock it out of the park! 

Let’s get stirring and baking! 

The girls and I head to the kitchen early in the morning and gather everything we need to make our Ultimate Magic Bars!
