Chocolate Chip Magic Bars Recipe
In my old age I have decided that there are some things I can do without.
By that I mean I get more confident in my likes and dislikes.
Here are some things that “in my opinion” have run their course:
- The cha-cha slide…actually any party-type dance that has the word “slide” in it….I’m not “slide” exclusive. It’s time to call it a day. No more, please. It’s possible I don’t like these dances because I have absolutely zero coordination and I feel like masses of people are all mocking me in perfect rhythm…Who knows.
- People saying that their high heels are “super comfortable”. No, they’re not. I have worn high heels and they are only comfortable while you’re sitting. Stop trying to make me think that you wear them for any other reason than to make your legs looks skinnier.
- Angelina Jolie. Put your leg away please.
- Tattoos of your child’s face. Please just hear me out on this one…I am not judging your child, or even your right to have a tattoo. Alls I am saying is that however great a tattoo artist you might go to, they can’t control future sagging. Your sweet child’s face can go from angelic to Crypt Keeper in a matter of just a few years. I mean it’s like one of those creepy computer programs that will show you what you will look like when you age. Your kid doesn’t need a constant reminder of what they will look like when they’re 80. I’m really looking out for your child here. And beyond the Crypt Keeper time machine your tattoo will most likely produce, there there is a solid chance that your child’s inked eyes will look cross-eyed. I have seen this on numerous occasions.
- Being “zany”. The word, the action, just all of it.
- Zombies. They are fiction. There will not be a Zombie Apocalypse. Stop trying to figure out how you will survive one. Maybe start planning for the real end of the world in December. Mayans trump Zombies any day.
I am quite confident I will get emails from some telling me how they love the cha-cha slide and do it, like all the time everyday of the week, or have a gorgeous child tattoo on their arm that they like to wear cut-off T-Shirts to show off. Which is totally cool. I say if there weren’t you in the world I wouldn’t have anyone to make fun of. We’re like a team. High five.
So to try and get back into your good graces I’ll make cookies for you. Although I know Angelina Jolie doesn’t eat cookies and really there won’t be anyone out there defending her, but hey…cookies make everything better…especially magical ones.
These are a take on the Magic Bar that has been around for ages.
But you don’t really have to make any of the parts…it’s just an “open package and combine” kind of recipe. I feel like I am dangerously close to “Semi-Homemade” territory. It’s a slippery slope.
You could certainly make your own chocolate chip cookie dough, but really…for these bars, it’s not necessary.
Roll it out…
Press it into your 9×13 pan and bake it for a few minutes.
Then get to layering…chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, toffee bits and coconut…
Then pour a whole can of sweetened condensed milk all over top.
Bake it up until it’s golden and delicious.
You’ll be happy you did.

All of my faves in these bars!
Shelly, you are hilarious and all, but some of THESE COMMENTS are making me laugh even harder than you did. =)
Child’s face tattooed zombies doing the slide… each with a magic bar in hand. Now THAT’S magical.
I figured I might ruffle a few feathers with this post. I went back and forth like 2 million times before I published. And while I crack myself up, my husband said something to me: that while friends come and go, enemies stack up…so yeah. I might need to keep my opinions on the inside of my brain from now on 😉
This bar looks much better than that bar we got at the bakery the other day. I didn’t even try it because Amanda said that it wasn’t even worth the taste buds. Haha! I’ll try this one any day though. 😀
Your pictures are so amazing that I’m tempted to eat my screen.
Seriously there are NO high heels that are comfortable! Ladies, let’s stop lying to ourselves AND to each other!!! I can NOT wait to make these cookie bars!!!
Bwahahahahahah…” I say if there weren’t you in the world I wouldn’t have anyone to make fun of. We’re like a team. High five.”
I love you (in a very platonic, non-stalker sort of way). That is all. 😉
Thank you! Everytime I hear someone say how comfortable their feet are in some kind of torture device with a 6″ heel on it I want to respond “what’s that smell, oh yeah, it’s your pants burning you big liar”.
OMG you should totally make these while doing the slide, then you can totally tape it and we can all see. I have lots of tatoos but I agree with the kid thing, I have a few that just don’t look the same anymore, but they are well hidden. Yikes that could have been bad. Oh and the zombies may be coming, they may not, but why take that chance;p It beats reality some times LOL.
I get why people think getting a tattoo of your childs face shouldn’t be done, I personally wouldn’t do it because you never really know if your childs face will look exactly like themselves on your arm or wherever it is… however everyone I know who has their childs face on their bodies has it because their child has passed away. I can’t imagine what that would feel like but I can understand why they would want that constant reminder of them on their bodies… that’s not tacky or even something that should be made fun of.
That’s very true.
Oh, I am so tired of hearing about Angie’s leg. She was trying wayyyyy to hard to get back her previous “image” with that dress. I’d much rather eat cookies!
