Magic Squares
This cookie is one of my all-time favorites. It’s unbelievably easy to make and although the recipe itself isn’t original, my method makes them extra chewy and delicious.
INGREDIENTS
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1 (14 oz.) can sweetened condensed milk
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 2 cups flaked coconut
- 3/4 cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
Also try adding…
- 1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
- 1 cup butterscotch, white chocolate or peanut butter chips
- 1 cup M&M’s
HOW TO MAKE IT
- Melt the butter and combine it with 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
- In a separate bowl, combine the condensed milk and the remaining graham cracker crumbs
- Press the butter and graham cracker crumb mixture into the bottom of an 8×11″ baking pan
- Pour the condensed milk mixture over the first layer and use a spatula to smooth it out
- Top that with the flaked coconut and press down with your fingertips
- Sprinkle the chocolate chips (and other toppings, if desired) on top of the coconut
- Bake at 350°F (325°F for a glass baking dish) for 25 minutes or until slightly browned
- Allow the pan to cool before cutting the squares
