Dessert

Magic Cookie Bars, also known as Seven Layer Bars, originated in the United States in the 1960s. The recipe was first popularized by Eagle Brand Sweetened Condensed Milk, and quickly became a beloved dessert across the country. These decadent bars are made by layering graham cracker crumbs, chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, shredded coconut, and nuts, then drenching them in sweetened condensed milk. The bars are then baked to golden perfection, resulting in a gooey, indulgent treat. While the exact origins of Magic Cookie Bars are unclear, they have become a staple in American home baking and are often found in bakeries and dessert shops across the country. For the best version of this dish, look for a recipe that balances the sweetness of the condensed milk with the richness of the chocolate and the crunch of the nuts. Some chefs also experiment with different types of chips, such as white chocolate or peanut butter, to add their own unique twist to the classic recipe. Whether enjoyed at a family gathering or purchased from a local bakery, Magic Cookie Bars continue to be a beloved dessert that brings joy to all who indulge in their sweet, gooey goodness.
