Cherry Coconut Magic Bars
These Cherry Coconut Magic Bars are a decadent dessert with layers of graham cracker crust, cherries, coconut, chocolate, and condensed milk, baked to gooey perfection.
Ingredients
- - 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- - 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted
- - 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
- - 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- - 1 cup maraschino cherries drained and chopped
- - 1 can 14 oz sweetened condensed milk
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan to form a crust.
- Sprinkle the shredded coconut evenly over the crust, followed by the chocolate chips and chopped cherries.
- Pour the sweetened condensed milk evenly over the entire pan, ensuring all ingredients are covered.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is set.
- Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan before slicing into squares. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
- For a crunchier texture, add 1/2 cup chopped nuts, such as pecans or almonds, to the layers.
- These bars store well in the refrigerator for up to a week.
- For easy slicing, chill the bars in the fridge before cutting.
