Description

Christmas Magic Cookie Bars are a festive and delicious treat featuring a graham cracker crust topped with sweetened condensed milk, oats, and a colorful mix of chocolate and candy chips. Perfect for holiday gatherings, these bars combine creamy, crunchy, and chocolatey textures in every bite.


Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 12 Graham Crackers, crushed
  • 2 Tablespoons Sugar
  • 9 Tablespoons Butter, melted

Toppings

  • 1 1/2 Cups Sweetened Condensed Milk
  • 3/4 Cup Quick Oats
  • 1 1/3 Cups Semi Sweet Chocolate Chips
  • 3/4 Cup Peanut Butter Chips
  • 1/3 Cup White Chocolate Chips
  • 1 Cup Holiday M&Ms


Instructions

  1. Preheat oven and prepare pan: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a 9x13 inch baking pan with nonstick spray and press in a piece of parchment paper for easy removal and better nonstick performance.
  2. Make the crust: Combine the crushed graham crackers, sugar, and melted butter in a bowl. Mix until well combined, then press this mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom of the prepared 9x13 pan to form the crust layer.
  3. Add sweetened condensed milk and toppings: Pour the sweetened condensed milk evenly over the graham cracker crust, spreading it out to cover all edges. Sprinkle the quick oats, semi-sweet chocolate chips, peanut butter chips, white chocolate chips, and holiday M&Ms evenly over the top.
  4. Bake the bars: Place the baking pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25 minutes, until the edges are lightly browned and the toppings are melted and set.
  5. Cool and serve: Remove the bars from the oven and let them cool to room temperature before slicing. Serve the bars warm or at room temperature for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Use parchment paper for easy removal and clean-up.
  • Press the crust firmly to prevent it from crumbling after baking.
  • You can swap holiday M&Ms for any colorful chocolate candies for variety.
  • Allow bars to cool completely to make cutting easier and cleaner.
  • Store bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
