Magic Bars

Serves 8

Ingredients

   1/2     cup           butter
   1 1/2   cups          graham cracker crumbs
   14 oz   can           Eagle Brand fat-free sweetened condensed milk
   6       ounces        semi-sweet chocolate chips
   1 1/3   cups          coconut
   1       cup           chopped nuts (optional)

Directions

Preheat oven to 350. (If using a glass pan, lower temperature to 325.)

Melt butter directly in 13 x 9 pan. (microwave works great!) Sprinkle graham cracker crumbs over butter, mix, and press into pan.

Evenly pour sweetened condensed milk over crumbs. Top evenly with chips, coconut, and nuts, if desired. Press down firmly.

Bake at 350 (or 325, if glass) for 25-30 minutes, until lightly browned at the edges.

Let cool and enjoy. Or, if you can't stand it, eat them hot and dripping from the pan!

Notes:

Although these make a full 9 x 13 pan, they are very thin and tend not to go as far as you'd think.
Watch carefully the first time you cook and check early. You only want these barely browned at the edges.
