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 mom and I make homemade pirogi every year for our Christmas Eve celebration. When I was a small girl I used to help my great grandmother make them (I was in charge of forking the edges) and now my mom and I carry on the tradition. It’s the best.
My favorite holiday recipe is Yorkshire puddings.
My favorite holiday Treats are chocolate dipped pretzels and chewy gingersnaps.
I absolutely love wassail! My mom would always have it cooking in the crock pot around christmas, and it smells like heaven!
Some of my favorite memories of all time have happened at Christmas. Every Christmas Eve, since I can remember, my family has gathered around the table to decorate Christmas cookies. We have red, blue, green, yellow, and white frosting, a whole bunch of sprinkles and mini M&Ms, chocolate chips, licorice – anything and everything to decorate with! In recent years, both of my grandma’s have joined us. So much fun.
My fav holiday recipe is my microwavable cashew brittle. Yummy! Thanks for the chance to win!
Mom always makes candy to help fill the stockings. She would always make each persons favorite candy and fill their stockings with it. This year my daughter and I are going to keep the tradition going.
My favorite holiday memory is when we were 9 or 10 and before my aunt had her own kids, she’d have us all over to bake cookies. We’d each get our own ball of dough, cut them out and decorate them any way we wanted from a wide variety of fun frostings and decorations. Then we got to take our own plate of cookies home with us. It was awesome! 🙂
I make new recipes every year- and I am in charge of desserts. So, I love the tradition of trying new things!
Every year my family makes a mean “molasses crinkle” cookie. When I made them for friends last year, someone said they were the best cookies they had ever had. Sounds about right to me!
