Got the following recipe from Penzey's:

Hello Dolly Bars

Prep Time: 10 minutes
Baking Time: 20-25 minutes
Yield: 3 dozen

½ C. butter, melted
1½ C. graham cracker crumbs
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
1 C. chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans are great)
1 C. chocolate chips
1-1/3 C. shredded coconut
14 oz. sweetened condensed milk
1 tsp. vanilla extract

Preheat oven to 350° F. Mix butter, graham gracker crumbs, and
cinnamon until well blended. Press mixture into bottom of an ungreased
9" X 13" baking dish to form a thin crust. Layer with nuts, chocolate
chips, then coconut. In a small bowl, mix condensed milk with vanilla.
Pour evenly over top of bars; bake for 20-25 minutes, until lightly
golden.

I made these twice over the holidays, to rave reviews. Then a friend
told me his aunt makes a similar item (called "Magic Bars"), and my
recipe was missing something. Anyone have an idea of what that might
be (he didn't know). And yes, I could Google "Magic Bars", but I'd
much rather get a personal RFC opinion, if possible.

Many thanks in advance... :-)

There's no cinnamon or vanilla in the ones I make, but here is the
"Magic Cookie Bars" recipe I have used for many years, which one of my
sons devours an entire batch of each Christmas while he drives just his
two hours home...gack! It's from the back of the milk can:

Magic Cookie Bars
1/2 cup margarine or butter
1-1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1 (14 oz.) can Eagle Brand Sweetened Condensed Milk (NOT evaporated
milk)
1 cup (6 oz.) semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 (3-1/2 oz.) can flaked coconut (1-1/3 cups)
1 cup chopped walnuts
Preheat oven to 350 degrees (325 for glass dish). In 9x13" baking dish,
melt margarine/butter in oven. Sprinkle crumbs over margarine/butter;
pour Eagle Brand evenly over crumbs. Top with remaining ingredients;
press down firmly. Bake 25-30 minutes, or until lightly browned. Cool.
Chill if desired. Cut into bars. Store loosely covered at room
temperature. (Makes 24 to 36 bars.)

=A0=A0=A0Picky ~JA~

Magic bars are a variety of different bars usually using sweetened condensed
milk.

There's a thousand different recipes and names for this
concoction--one recipe I have calls for butterscotch chips along
with the chocolate chips. Give it a try next time...

1 (3 1/2 oz.) can flaked coconut
1 c. chopped nuts (walnuts are best)

So I see! I guess mine aren't *missing* anything then, unless
one compares it to a particular recipe.

Is there a big difference between canned coconut and the stuff in
a bag?

I've been making these since 1966.
1. I've never seen these made with cinnamon or vanilla
altho it's not surprising, with the recipe coming from Penzey's.

2. The original recipe had butterscotch chips
in addition to the chocolate ones.

I make 'em like Dimitri BUT (always the BUT!) I pour the sweetened

Heh, I had the same thought. I'm going to try them without the cinnamon,
next time.

Add me to the list that is surprised about the vanilla and cinnamon.
Remove those two ingredients and it looks just like the squares that I
have made many times. I find they are tastier after they have been cooled=
