I have a confession: sometimes, when I am in the mood for baked treats, I go buy the “boxed” versions of them.
You know – those cheesecakes in a box, or Reese’s brownies, or lemon bars? Yep. It happens.
They still taste good – just not quite as good as the “from scratch” versions.
One of my guilty pleasures was always the Magic Cookie Bars.
Suddenly, a few months ago, to my dismay – I stopped finding the “all-in-one” box of ingredients for them!
I have been craving them ever since.
I found a recipe for them, and added a few of my own favorite things to make the perfect Seven Layer Magic Cookie Bars.
And these seven layer bar cookies are definitely better than the box version! 🙂

Ingredients in Seven Layer Magic Cookie Bars:
- melted better

How to make 7 Layer Bar Cookies:
Heat oven to 350 degrees.
Pour melted butter into a 13×9-inch baking pan (I used a glass pan for this recipe).
Spread graham cracker crumbs evenly across the pan, trying to evenly coat the crumbs in the butter.
Add a layer of chopped walnuts, then milk chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, and white chocolate chips. Pour condensed milk over all the layers, covering everything entirely.
Top bars with coconut.
Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the top is a light golden brown.
So easy and so delicious!!

This was the first "cookie" I let my young sons make for Christmas many years ago. They loved doing it and were so proud of themselves when they were done and tasted so good. Just in case someone wants to make them and only has chocolate chips, that's the way we made them. They were very good that way. So, all the different chips are not "needed" to make them good. The cool thing is that both of my sons are grown and are fathers and they still remember making these. Plus, they are both wonderful cooks.

I was just wondering if you could substitute something in place of the coconut. I'm not really a fan and neither is my husband. So any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!! :)
-
so maybe we did them wrong, but they did not look like your picture. I have never used sweetened condensed milk. It did not just "pour" over the top. It was so thick and gooey. Are you sure we aren't supposed to spread that on top and then add the coconut?
-
Maybe you are supposed to hear up the condensed milk a little first so it will pour?

These are delicious! But mine fell apart. What did I do wrong? Not bake them long enough?
-
I had the same problem of them falling apart :(

Hello....I make these once a week in my home.....the first time I made them mine fell apart to...I decided to try adding more butter to Graham...my base then stayed together therefore everything else stayed too....hope this helps....
-
They are really tasty with cornflake crumbs as the base versus graham cracker. The box of Kellogg crumbs usually has the recipe on the box. Always a hit!
-
I love the idea of just melting the butter then spreading the graham cracker crumbs, this is where my recipe always failed! Much more conformity to the layers this way! Thanks! Will also try adding more butter, per one of the comments above. More butter can't hurt, am I right?!
-
Do u think you could add grade jelly to the chips?
-
I accidentally put the coconut on before pouring the condensed milk ok top. Hoping the turn out ok!
-
My sister-in-law made a version of these a few years ago at Christmas, I fell in love! Her version uses vanilla wafers instead of the graham cracker crust. Sooo yummy! I am not a fan of graham cracker crusts, so I was hooked. I use the same amount of crumbs and if needed a little more butter.
-
to those whom had them fall apart. try melting your butter then adding the crumbs to the; butter mix well then place into pan. you may have not evenly distributed the butter into the crumbs. and any cookie crumb will work .also be sure that with whatever flavor you use in chips.. it totals 3 cups in all.

The first time I ever ate these, it was courtesy of my first boyfriend, my sr year in high school. They were a hit with my family as well. I can’t eat them without thinking of him. I’ll be celebrating our 50th anniversary of our class in a couple of years, and it’s still just as tasty today! Thanks for the sweet reminder.
