Magic Cookie Bars

I know this looks like meat with potaotes and cheese, but no, this is a yummy dessert! It is so easy to make but so good. You can freeze these bars for upto one month. I am offering these this year for Christmas along with my macaroons, gingerbread men, and Christmas sugar cookies. Enjoy!

Prep and cook time: 30 minutes

Ingredients 

• 1 1/2 cup graham craker crumbs
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1/2 cup margarine, melted
• 175g (6 oz) semi-sweet chocolate-chips
• 1 1/2 cups flaked coconut
• 1 cup chopped walnuts or peacans
• 1 can condensed milk

Directions

1. Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees F. 
2. Mix graham crumbs, sugar and margarine together. Press in a 9 X 9 inch pan.
3. Scatter chocolate chips, nuts and coconut over graham crust.
4. Pour condensed milk over the top and bake for about 22 mintues. 
5. Broil for about 3 minutes for coconut to get golden, or else it will be very white (see pictures below)
   
6. Cool for 1 hour and cut into small bars. Do not wait too long before cutting, or else it will be very hard!
