Ingredients
Instructions
- Melt butter in a 13 x 9-inch pan.
- Mix graham cracker crumbs into the melted butter to form the crust.
- Pour sweetened condensed milk evenly over the crust.
- Spread semi-sweet chocolate chips over the milk layer.
- Sprinkle coconut flakes over the chocolate chips.
- Top with chopped nuts.
- Bake at 375°F for 30 to 35 minutes or until the top is browned.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using unsalted butter and adding a pinch of salt to the graham cracker mixture. If you prefer a different nut, chopped pecans or almonds can be excellent substitutes. To enhance the chocolate layer, try mixing in some peanut butter chips or white chocolate chips. Ensure the mixture is evenly layered for consistent baking.
Serving Suggestions
These bars are perfect for gatherings, served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side. They pair beautifully with a rich cup of coffee or a cold glass of milk. For a delightful dessert spread, consider serving them alongside Deb'S Famous Cherry Cheesecake or a slice of Walnut Rum Raisin Cheesecake for a variety of flavors.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover Majik Cookie Bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days, or refrigerate for up to a week. To maintain their texture, avoid freezing them, as thawing may affect the crunchiness. If reheating, place them in the oven at a low temperature for a few minutes to warm them through without drying them out.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of chocolate?
Absolutely! You can substitute semi-sweet chocolate chips with milk chocolate for a sweeter taste, or dark chocolate for a richer flavor. Just be sure to adjust the amount based on your taste preference, as different chocolates have varying levels of sweetness.
What can I use instead of coconut flakes?
If you're not a fan of coconut, you can omit it entirely or replace it with an equal amount of crushed graham crackers or additional nuts for added crunch. You could also experiment with a sprinkle of dried fruit for a different texture and flavor.
Can I make these cookie bars gluten-free?
Yes! To make gluten-free Majik Cookie Bars, simply use gluten-free graham cracker crumbs. Many stores carry gluten-free options that can be substituted directly. Always check labels to ensure other ingredients used are also gluten-free.
