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.

I love sweet potato souffle for the holidays!
My favorite Holiday recipe is my boyfriends families Sweet Potato Casserole. It’s seriously the most amazing thing ever. I kind of wish every day was a holiday so I could eat it more often!
My favorite holiday memory is making pumpkin rolls with my mom
My favorite holiday recipe is a broccoli casserole made with broccoli florets, Cheez Whiz, eggs, chopped onion, and topped with crushed Ritz Crackers tossed with melted butter. The smell of it is intoxicating, and it is hard to resist on the drive to my sister’s home. (Even veggie haters love it!)
My baking secret: classical music. I always do my best when I devote my full attention to what I am baking. If it is something special I wait until my mid-week day off when the kids & hubby are gone and play some soothing music while immersing myself in baking land.
Oh My Goodness!!!! You just combined two of my favorite Christmas treats into one!! *drool* Where has this been all my life? You are my cookie hero!
Candy cane cookies! The kind were you twist the white dough with the red dough and shape it into a candy cane. I’ve been making them for as long as I can remember.
My favorite is pumpkin rolls
My favorite holiday memory is a baking one… I take the day off work, put National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation on loop all day while I bake cookies. It’s pretty much my favorite day all year 🙂
My favorite holiday recipe is Paula Deen’s pumpkin gooey cake. Tons of butter and powdered sugar!
