Layered Chocolate Caramel Coconut Bars
I have a thing for Magic Bars, or Seven Layer Bars as they’re sometimes called. These aren’t technically seven layer bars because I fell short after six layers but you could easily add nuts or chopped candy bars for that seventh layer. In this recipe, a buttery graham cracker crust is topped with chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, coconut, salted caramel sauce, and sweetened condensed milk. The graham cracker crust is slightly crunchy, the coconut adds chewiness, and the chocolate and butterscotch chips give you something to sink your teeth into. It’s a fast, easy, no-mixer recipe that’s as easy as layering ingredients in a pan. As the bars bake the sweetened condensed milk takes on caramel undertones and boosts the flavor of the salted caramel sauce even more.

Storage Instructions
Leftover caramel magic bars will last up to 1 week at room temperature. Store them in an airtight container to keep them fresh. I’ve also frozen the bars successfully. Store them in a freezer bag to prevent freezer burn. When ready to eat, thaw on your counter for an hour or so.
