Christmas Magic Cookie Bars
Is it even a holiday if no baking is involved! Not only does it make for delicious results, but it's a great way to bond with family. Baked goods are also such a fun gift idea to give to friends, family, neighbors and more. These Christmas Magic Bars are the perfect festive way to celebrate the season. Let's get baking!

Are there baked goods that you look forward to every year? Recipes that you find yourself making over and over again? All of these delicious goods are a huge part of memory making. That's why I wanted to share a recipe for Christmas-inspired Magic Cookie Bars. I remember these being such a huge hit at holiday parties when I was growing up. I even remember the first time that I tried them. They are like a bite of heaven.
So many deliciously sweet ingredients to love. I've added a little twist this year by adding some crushed peppermint candy and marshmallows. If you've never had these bars, the secret ingredient that makes them super magical is most definitely Eagle Brand Sweetened Condensed Milk. Let me show you how to make them!

I use choc chips walnuts and cocoanut and butterscotch chips
Sounds super delicious!
Coconut, chocolate chips, and peppermint sounds like a fantastic combination! I would love to try these!
Magic Cookie Bars are my favorite. I love the idea of adding crushed peppermint and sprinkles to make them more festive.
Why Country Crock not butter? I tend to avoid margarine if I can.
