Magic Bar Fudge is two classic desserts in one place! Creamy chocolate fudge, with butterscotch chips, and toasted coconut will be a sure favorite!
Wanted to pop in over the weekend and share a little something with you.
I know you are all scrambling to get your houses, menus and turkeys ready for Thanksgiving…but let’s just take a pause, just for a minute, to anticipate the upcoming Christmas season…
I know, I know, one holiday at a time…but I can’t help it! I’m not a Thanksgiving girl. You would think I would be, I mean it’s a holiday completely geared towards stuffing your face, putting on happy pants and then napping. I mean, that’s basically my dream world. But for some reason, it’s just not my favorite. I look at it like this: pie…no thanks, turkey…meh, stuffing…well, alright stuffing I could make a meal out of…but overall, not my thang. Maybe if I could convince my husband that there needs to be presents on Thanksgiving I could learn to love it. Presents make everything better. Fact.
So while you all are thinking pumpkin pie and gravy, I am all about the Christmas cookie…I start planning my holiday baking pretty much in January. I bookmark, I pin, I gather scrap recipes in a folder. Yep, it’s all about the Christmas cookie.
With that said, you want to take a gander at what I came up with?
It’s Magic Bar Fudge.
Here’s what I did:
I coarsely chopped up some graham crackers.
I toasted some coconut over low heat until it got to be this pretty golden color…
I chopped up some walnuts…
Then I mixed some chocolate and butterscotch chips, a pinch of salt in a medium saucepan…
and poured a can of sweetened condensed milk in and melted it all together.
When the chocolate mixture melted, I folded in the graham crackers and nuts and spread into my foil-lined pan.
I sprinkled my toasted coconut on top and let it chill in the fridge.
Now you should really let it set up in the fridge for a good 2 hours, but I may or may not have sampled it before then…SO, if you aren’t above eating melty fudge with a spoon over the pan, now would be the time.

My favorite memory is baking cookies for the holidays with my mom. Now that she has past I still make her favorites.
favorite holiday recipe? crap, i cant think of one i DONT like. digging chocolate sugar cookies (with sw cond milk!) and salted caramel buttercream.
my favorite baking memory is from when i was a little girl. chrismas holiday baking was a 2 or 3 day event with my sister, mom, grandma and great grandma. there were cookies as far as the eye could see and the smells and tastes were fabulous. many of the varieties were things that were only made once a year. those are days i will always treasure.
Wow. My favorite baking memory is making peanut butter blossom cookies with my mom.
My favorite holiday recipe is striped delight!
You may eat Eagle Brand with a spoon, but I’ve been known to drink it with a straw. It’s A.MA.ZING.
I love that these bars are layer upon layer of all things that are right in this world. Love.
My favorite holiday recipe….Italian rainbow cookies!
I come from a multi cultural family so I love making recipes from all the different parts of the world that my family comes from. My husband is Dutch and I have to say the recipe I make for him is a family favorite-Almond Tarts. Oh so yummy! Last year we had recipes from the Ukrain, Germany, Switzerland, The Netherlands, Mexico, and Ethiopia.
