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 holiday memory is of making tons and tons (and tons) of thumbprint jelly cookies with my mom and younger sisters. They were our favorite to leave for Santa because, instead of filling all the thumbprints with jelly (booooring), we’d mix it up with sprinkles, or Hershey kisses, or M&Ms to make a billion different filled thumbprints. 🙂
My favorite holiday recipe is for good old-fashioned sausage stuffing, and my favorite holiday memory is waking up on Thanksgiving morning and smelling the sausage that my mom was cooking. That smell just means Thanksgiving to me!!
This year will be my first US thanksgiving with my Canadian fiance. We celebrated Canadian Thanksgiving on 10/10 and the weather was so perfect that we ate outside. I’ll never forget that.
Baking cookies as gift for the family. They always look forward to getting them. One year I couldn’t do them, and they let me know about it.
We always make individual fried pies… Apple and Chocolate! So Good!
Fudge!
Our favorite holiday recipe is the ever-so-tempting pumpkin roll! We just can’t get enough of it!
Cooking with my kids when they were younger. I wish those days were still here! I love any dessert that has Eagle Brand sweetened condensed milk in it. Fudge is particulary good!
Thank you!
My favorite recipe is peanut butter/chocolate chip cookies and thumbprints.
MY FAVORITE RECIPE FOR THE HOLIDAYS IS A LEMON ICEBOX PIE MADE WITH EAGLE BRAND CONDENSED MILK. I MAKE THEM FOR CHRISTMAS TOO. THEY ARE SOOOO YUMMY
