    Magic Bars

    Magic Bars.  Also known as 7-Layer Bars.  Also known as Hello Dolly Bars.  Whatever the name it is a very simple recipe to make and an even more delicious treat to eat!

    This is a great bar to make ahead of time for parties.  They can be made a day ahead and still taste the same the next day.

    You can cut them up into any size.  I’ve done things from cutting them into 2×2 in. squares to serve at a retirement party, to 3×3 squares for a school bake sale.  It’s a sweet treat, so I wouldn’t cut them too big!

    I like to add the coconut as a last step so it gets nice and toasted on the top.  Feel free to end with sweetened condensed milk if you prefer the coconut more incorporated.
