Description

Christmas Magic Cookie Bars are a festive, delightful treat perfect for holiday gatherings. They feature a crunchy graham cracker crust topped with a luscious layer of sweetened condensed milk, oats, and a colorful mix of chocolate chips and holiday M&Ms. These bars combine crunchy, sweet, and creamy textures, making them a holiday favorite that's easy to prepare and great to share.


Ingredients

Scale

Crust

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

Topping

  • 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 the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a 9x13 inch baking pan with nonstick spray and press a piece of parchment paper into the pan for easy removal.
  2. Make Crust: In a bowl, combine the crushed graham crackers, sugar, and melted butter. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared 9x13 inch pan, creating an even crust layer.
  3. Add Toppings: Pour the sweetened condensed milk evenly over the crust, spreading it to the 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: Bake the assembled bars in the preheated oven for 25 minutes until the edges are golden and the toppings are melted and set.
  5. Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and allow the bars to cool to room temperature or serve them warm. Cut into 15 bars for serving.

Notes

  • Use parchment paper to easily lift the bars out of the pan once cooled.
  • Substitute peanut butter chips with butterscotch or white chocolate chips for a different flavor.
  • Allow bars to cool completely for cleaner slices.
  • Store bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
  • For a nut-free version, omit peanut butter chips and replace with extra chocolate chips.
