If you're a candy corn lover, this recipe for Candy Corn Magic Bars is not to be missed! Enjoy it now and throughout the fall season.
I'm not sure how or when Magic Cookie Bars, also known as 7 Layer Cookie Bars and Hello Dolly bars, became popular, but I've been eating them since I was a kid. The special ingredient is condensed milk, with most recipes calling specifically for Eagle Brand condensed milk (honestly, you could use any brand, but Eagle Brand is the most popular).
Magic Cookie Bars are great because they combine so many delicious ingredients, including graham cracker crumbs, chocolate chunks, butterscotch chips, nuts and coconut flakes. You can make them for any occasion, and they will always be a hit.
But if you want to take the classic Magic Cookie Bars recipe up a notch for Halloween and Fall, then Candy Corn Magic Bars are the answer for a decadent and sweet seasonal dessert.
In this Candy Corn Magic Cookie Bars recipe, candy corn is substituted for nuts, but if you want to go crazy, you could add a ½ cup or so of your favorite variety. Additionally, white candy melts are added for more fall flavor. These magic cookie bars are beautifully colored for the season, giving them even more of a WOW factor when serving or gifting.
