Magic Cookie Bars

The only change I made was to increase the crust. I used 2 sticks of butter and about 3/4 of the box of graham crackers. I love the buttery crust and it pairs so nicely with the sweets on top of it. I also layered it the same as another review suggested with half of the condensed milk on top of the crust and the rest right below the coconut.It turned out really well.

I will make these again. They are a big hit

I made this recipe twice and think potentially with a 3rd try and further modifications, it could be perfect. The first time, I made the recipe as instructed. Sprinkling the graham cracker crumbs over the butter did not form a crust and impossible to use these as "bars". Topping with the condensed milk also made for not the most attractive dish. On round two, I combined the butter and graham cracker crumbs and pressed the crust into the pan, baked it for 10 mins. Based off a couple of reviews, I tried combining the milk, nuts and chocolate chips and layering it all in one swoop. That worked a bit better for appearance but it still didn't "set" quite as nicely and required chilling in the fridge for a bit prior to cutting. I may have needed to increase the baking time a bit.In the future, I'll try one of the recommendations of pouring 1/2 the milk on top of the crust and the remaining on top.I'd give this recipe 3-4 stars based on the instructions/method but 5 for taste.
