These are one of the BEST magic cookie peppermint almond bark you will every put in your mouth. After just one bite, you will be in Heaven. I just want to sleep in until at least 9 a. Saturday morning, I was wide awake at 7 a.
Maybe I was too anxious to try out this new recipe I had been planning all week. We had treats at work last Tuesday and one of my co-workers brought in Magic Layer Bars. I LOVE her Magic Layer Bars. How about an Almond Joy version and use chocolate graham crackers instead of regular, almonds instead of pecans and add loads of coconut. I wanted a thick bar and I remembered pinning Sally’s Ultimate Magic Cookie Bars awhile back. Rather than using a graham cracker crust, she created a graham cracker cookie crust. The crust is thick and soft and chewy and is guaranteed to become a base of many recipes to come.
The result is DIVINE, DECADENT, SINFUL, RICH, AMAZING, IRRESISTIBLE. Okay, okay, so I really really loved these bars. They totally reminded me of an Almond Joy. You need to try this recipe ASAP. For the Crust: In a large bowl, cream together the butter and brown sugar, using a hand mixer, until smooth and creamy. Add the vanilla and egg and mix until combined. Add the flour, graham cracker crumbs, baking powder and salt and mix until fully combined.
Drizzle the sweetened condensed milk over the top and sprinkle with reserved mini chocolate chips. DO NOT cut the bars while they are still warm or the gooey filling will run all over the place. Jenn’s Notes: I cut mine into 9 bars, but since they are pretty rich, I think 12 bars would be perfect. These bars definitely look like a great treat. Just saw the recipemy favorite food groupchocolate and coconutnot to take away from the preparation but I am going to buy a roll of cookie dough from the refrigerator section and skip part one and go right on to part two. What kind of cookie dough did you use? Magic cookie bars are some of my favorites and I always ate them growing up and this Almond Joy twist sounds too good.
They have become one of my favorites too! These sound exactly as you described! These bars look so amazingly good! These cookie bars look outrageously goodand I would feel the same even if they weren’t called “Almond Joy”. Jenn, I just had to stop by and tell you, I made these for my son’s 15th birthday celebration last night. I can honestly say, as of now, this is my all time favorite Pinterest find and dessert bar recipe ever.
I have never said that to anyone. I wish I could have taken a picture of his first bite face to share with you. I could eat an entire pan of these like it’s nobodies buisness! Coming from The Country Cook Link Up Party!
I can’t wait to try these. I love anything with coconut and almond joy is one of my favorite candy bars. These are in my oven now! I can’t wait to try them. Is there a way to double the recipe? I just know these will be gone in a hot second! I made these bars yesterday and they were amazing!
