How to Make Millionaire Magic Bars

PIN IT

1. Prep the Pan – Line a 9×13-inch baking dish with parchment paper for easy removal later. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Make the Crust – In a bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs with melted butter. Press firmly into the bottom of the pan.
3. Layer the Magic – Sprinkle shredded coconut and chopped nuts evenly over the crust. Drizzle with half the caramel sauce.
4. Add Sweetness – Pour the sweetened condensed milk evenly over the top.
5. Top with Chocolate – Sprinkle chocolate chips generously across the surface, then drizzle remaining caramel sauce.
6. Bake – Place in the oven and bake for 25–30 minutes, until the edges are golden and the center looks set.
7. Cool & Slice – Allow to cool completely before slicing into bars. (Trust me, it’s worth the wait!)

Pro tip: For cleaner slices, chill the bars in the fridge before cutting.

What to Serve with Millionaire Magic Bars

• Pair with a hot cup of coffee or espresso.
• Serve as part of a holiday dessert platter alongside Easy Pecan Pie Bars.
• Enjoy with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for extra indulgence.

Tips for Making It Perfect

• Don’t skimp on parchment paper—it makes lifting the bars out much easier.
• Make sure condensed milk is evenly spread to avoid dry patches.
• Chill before slicing for neat, bakery-style squares.
• Toast the coconut beforehand for extra flavor depth.

Storage Instructions

• Room Temperature: Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
• Fridge: Keeps well for 1 week.
• Freezer: Freeze for up to 2 months. Place parchment paper between layers to prevent sticking.
