We might be kitchen impaired right now, but that wasn’t going to stop me from making dessert. Ever since I started visiting the Cookie Bar Bakery by our place in Chicago I couldn’t get their Wonder Bars out of my mind. They are so delicious and remind me of old school magic bars that we used to make as kids.
I have searched high and low around here and nothing seems to do the trick. I really wanted to make these but you need a baking pan which I couldn’t find in our kitchen. I was also too lazy to buy butter just for this recipe so during a 5 mile run yesterday I had a brilliant idea (because I think about dessert during most of my runs).
I used a premade graham cracker pie crust and the rest was history. The verdict involved some words I can’t repeat from my husband on this blog. It was that good!
I present to you Magic Bar Pie
Ingredients:
Graham cracker premade pie crust
1 cup chocolate chips
1 cup butterscotch chips
1 cup shredded coconut
1/2 cup peanuts
1 14 ounce can of condensed milk
Directions:
Preheat over to 350°. Sprinkle the chips and coconut into the pie shell. Pour entire can of condensed milk over the pie but don’t let it overflow. Sprinkle the top with peanuts. Bake for 30 minutes. Let set until hard and then try not to eat it all at once.
If you are really eager to dig into this I recommend putting it in the freezer for about an hour. You can also substitute ingredients. I used to not be a huge fan of coconut and if I wasn’t in the mood for it I might swap that for mini marshmallows. Use your imagination because you really can’t go wrong with what you put in here.

Oh Mr. Magic Bar Pie, I’d be happy to take a yummy bite!!! Mmmmm….very tasty!!! Have a great day!!! 🙂
your turn to make me drool 😉 seriously this looks incredible!!!
I thought of you actually when I swung in to get the ingredients!
I drooled just looking at that! I could probably eat the whole pie!!!
I tried. It is seriously rich!
This sounds really delicious! I love anything that comes in a graham cracker crust!
It made the whole process ridiculously easy. My husband was pretty happy to have a homemade dessert again.
I know your suggestion to put in the freezer was to cool it off, but I bet eating this frozen would be completely delicious.
Actually that is a great idea. Especially in the summer. Brilliant!
Oh my goddess!! Anything with condensed milk and chocolate chips is a winner in my book! 🙂
Looks sinful!!! Enjoy it!
This looks amazing and so simple. Yum!
Super simple. Great for a quick throw together.
So, if you could just send me about a dozen of these…that would be great!
Funny enough I made a dozen mini ones last night. Now you just need to come visit.
Excuse me while I find the biggest Tupperware box I own and buy a plane ticket…
OMG this sounds incredibly dangerous…
Ugh does that ever look delicious! Can I use coconut milk instead of condensed milk?
I would love to think so but the condensed milk is very thick and then once it bakes it really settles in. I think if you can find a way to thicken the coconut milk it might work. Perhaps with the thicker version in the can and boil it a bit to get it thicker? It is worth a try. Plus the flavor of the milk would be awesome.
Nice! I have to try it!
OMG…that is all
