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.

One of my favorite Christmas memories is of the year my oldest daughter got a doll house for Christmas. She really, really wanted one – it was the only thing she would say if you asked her what she wanted for Christmas. But there was no way we could afford one. I happened to mention it one day at a MOPS (Mothers of Preschoolers) meeting. The following week one of the ladies at my table came to me and told me she had a doll house for me. Turns out she had said something about it at home, and her 9-year-old daughter decided that since she had more than one doll house, she wanted to give one to my daughter.
My favorite holiday baking recipe is Maple Pumpkin Pie. My son just loves the pumpkin pie. My funny baking story happened when I was about 10 years old. We didn’t have an oven in Taiwan, so my brother and I decided that we’ll just use rice cooker to make a chocolate cake. I don’t even remember if we followed any recipe or we just throw chocolate and flour together and into the rice cooker. Well…the result as you can imagine…was straight to the trash can. We did get a good laugh out of it!
My favorite holiday recipe are my red velvet brownie sandwiches! They are layers of red velvet brownie sandwiching thick, delicious, cream cheese frosting. Can’t wait to start baking!
I absolutely love my mom’s sour cream cookies with frosting on them thanks
My favorite part of the holidays is baking new things, the problem… my family wants me to make the same things all the time because they love them so much!! I just want to try some new things, but no. Little do they know, this year I’m making what I want.
My favorite memory of Holidays is eating endless sweets and cookies.. But top of it was the rum soaked plum cake at my friends home.. her mom made the best plum cake.. have never had such an intense cake ever..sadly the recipe is their family secret, they do not share it with anyone.
Love Ash.
I really like every Christmas cookie. Or every cookie that I eat at Christmas. Same thing.
My fave holiday dish is APPLE PIE! With a little Vanilla ice cream of course.
We make homemade Christmas candy every year right after Thanksgiving. Although I don’t eat much of it anymore, everyone enjoys getting it as gifts. It also makes the house smell WONDERFUL!
