You can also use different <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/crumb-crust-ingredients\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/crumb-crust-ingredients\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">crumb crust ingredients<\/a>\u2014think gingersnaps, Nilla wafers or chocolate wafers. Even saltines and crushed pretzels work.<\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\"><strong>Use other baking chips:<\/strong> Semi-sweet chocolate chips are the most common chocolate chips used in baking, but butterscotch chips are the most traditional for magic cookie bars. You can use any chips in this recipe. Try white chocolate chips, dark chocolate chips, and even <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/flavored-baking-chips-we-love\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/flavored-baking-chips-we-love\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">flavored baking chips<\/a> like peanut butter or peppermint.

Use sweetened condensed coconut milk (an easy way to make this recipe vegan-friendly) or even <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-make-dulce-de-leche\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-make-dulce-de-leche\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">dulce de leche<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\"><strong>Garnish with toppings:<\/strong> If you want to add a little extra to your magic cookie bars, try a topping. Melt a bit of chocolate or Nutella and drizzle it on top, or add crushed Oreo pieces or chopped Reese\u2019s.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>How to Store Magic Cookie Bars<\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\">Once the magic cookie bars are cooled to room temp and sliced into bars, stash them in an airtight container. They can be kept at room temperature for up to three days.<\/p>\n<h3>Can you freeze magic cookie bars?<\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\">Yes, magic cookie bars can be frozen for up to two months. Let them cool to room temperature first, then wrap them tightly in storage wrap or place them in an airtight container.

I have eaten these Magic Cookie Bars over the years  and they ARE delicious.  BUT I do have some issues with them.  I've made them in the past and always had an issue with them falling apart and\/or sticking to the pan.  I never throw out \"ruined\" cookies since everything can become ice cream topping as others have mentioned!  So I decided to make them a few days ago when I saw them featured on the Taste Recipes email favorites and I noticed the directions state to \"COOL SEVERAL HOURS BEFORE CUTTING.\"  I thought I must not be letting them cool long enough in the past.  So I waited several hours and they still fell apart!!! So does cool actually mean CHILL for several hours?  Another issue is that the directions state to BAKE UNTIL A TOOTHPICK INSERTED IN THE CENTER COMES OUT CLEAN.  Will a toothpick ever come out clean with all that gooey melted chocolate in them? So I guess I should just bake them 30 minutes and that's it(?).  So the size of the pan issue . . . If I have an 8\" X 8\" metal pan, a glass curved baking dish that is 8 1\/2 \" square at the widest part, and 9\" X 12\" pan, which one do I use and how should I adjust the baking time.  (Or should I just purchase a 9\" X 9\" pan:) Please share your baking wisdom with me.","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":4,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2023-08-08","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"sheeleigh"},"reviewBody":"<p>4 stars for this recipe as written because it made skimpy cookies.<\/p><p><\/p><p>The recipe I usually make uses 1 1\/2c graham cracker crumbs, 1 1\/4 c each dry ingredient and 1 can milk as stated.
