Recipe Tips & Tricks
Sweet treats and desserts are delicious when they’re done right, but sometimes when you’re combining two desserts into one final product, it can be easy to overdo it. To avoid creating a dessert that you can only have one bite of before feeling a sugar overload, here are a few things to remember when making your magic brownie bars:
Ratio is key: The topping for these brownie bars is inspired by the classic magic cookie bar dessert, which is traditionally made up of a graham cracker crust, a layer of sweetened condensed milk, another layer of milk chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, shredded coconut, nuts, and then finally more sweetened condensed milk added to the top.
The layers are then baked into a delicious dessert known as magic cookie bars. It’s amazing! However, when making your magic brownie bars, remember that the brownie topping is just inspired by these flavors and isn’t an entire magic cookie bar on top of a brownie haha.
The right brownie recipe is everything: When making your dessert bars, using the right brownie recipe is essential. We always use our homemade brownie recipe and add the magic brownie bar topping instead of the chocolate frosting.
If you love brownies, you have to try this homemade brownie recipe! These brownies are unlike anything you’ve ever tried and are out of this world!

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease an 18×13 inch sheet pan. (I recommend the Nordic Ware Baker’s Half Sheet.)
