mhmm monday

Nothing says Christmas quite like red & green.  So when Krystle gave her dad his most favourite Christmas time dessert, I knew I needed to get my baking pants on and make him some more ~ because I knew those squares would simply not last until Christmas.  So with Christmas music playing on the radio, I knew I could get started with this recipe from this website.

Christmas Magic Cookie Bars 

Ingredients:
1/2 cup butter
1 {14 oz} Can Of Sweetened Condensed Milk
1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1 cup Holiday or regular chocolate chips (divided into 1/2 cup portions)
1 cup chopped nuts (I prefer walnuts)
1 cup Holiday or regular M&M's (divided into 1/2 cup portions)
1 1/2 cups flaked coconut

Directions:
Place 13" x 9" pan, with butter, in the oven and turn the oven on to 350° F. Butter can melt in pan while preheating. {Keep an eye on it, checking every few minutes and pulling out of the oven when butter is melted.}
When butter is melted, remove pan from oven and carefully sprinkle the graham cracker crumbs over the melted butter. Press in lightly with fork or back of spoon.
Pour sweetened condensed milk over the crumb layer.
Sprinkle 1/2 of the chocolate chips, 1/2 of the M&M's & the nuts over the sweetened condensed milk layer. Sprinkle coconut on top, followed by remaining chocolate chips & M&M's.
Bake in oven for 25-30 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove from oven. Allow bars to cool completely before cutting into squares.
Enjoy!
