Magic Cookie Bars

My sweet tooth really got the best of me last night. I was craving something sweet. A dozen chocolate chips would have probably satisfied me, but then I found this recipe on the side of a can of condensed milk and it all went downhill from there. It's very easy to make. Once you have the crust, the rest of the ingredients just have to be sprinkled on top. The recipe suggests substituting 1 cup of semisweet chocolate morsels with either butterscotch flavored chips, white chocolate chips or peanut butter flavored chips. I didn't have any in my cupboard, so I just stuck with semisweet chocolate chips and used walnuts as my choice of nut. I couldn't wait to try them. Waiting for them to cool before cutting was painful. They're addicting, especially with a glass of milk.

 Magic Cookie Bars
    1/2 cup butter, melted
    1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
    1 (14 ounce) can EAGLE BRAND® Sweetened Condensed Milk
    2 cups semisweet chocolate morsels
    1 1/3 cups flaked coconut
    1 cup chopped nuts

  1.  Heat oven to 350 degrees F (325 degrees for glass dish). Coat 13x9-inch baking pan with no-stick cooking spray.
  2. Combine graham cracker crumbs and butter. Press into bottom of prepared pan. Pour sweetened condensed milk evenly over crumb mixture. Layer evenly with chocolate chips, coconut and nuts. Press down firmly with a fork.
  3. Bake 25 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool. Cut into bars or diamonds. Store covered at room temperature.
