Magic Cookie Bars

My co-worker brought these bars on treat day at work one day. Everyone who grew up here knows the name of these cookie bars. Apparently along with Nanaimo bars, these chocolate-coconut treats are quite popular. These bars are so rich and decadent, a small piece is enough to satisfy any sweet cravings you might have. I was hooked with these sweet, crunchy treats, so I decided to make them while I am still off from work. This recipe is so flexible, I was able to make used of some left-over baking ingredients that I have in my pantry and fridge. My family can’t get enough of these wonderful treats. Indulge!
