Chocolate Chip Cookies ‘n’ Cream Magic Bars

If I was in school this semester, it would be finals week for me. But I’m not in school. I’m not even employed right now. I have no reason to be stressed- but I should be stressed around this time of year, be it finals or work.

But you know what’s not stressful? These bars. Making them isn’t stressful.  And eating them is FAR from stressful. (Although stopping eating may be a bit stressful- they’re THAT good.)

So let’s break these babies down. They’re the same as 7 layer bars- minus two layers, making them magic bars. White Chocolate, chocolate chip cookies, and chocolate chips are all sandwiched between sweetened condensed milk and a brownie crust. I had never made 7 layer bars before this. I had also been scared of working with sweetened condensed milk before- namely because I have no idea what it actually is. Now I’m over that fear, and I see many more magic bars in my future.

Back to these bars. My mom and I can’t stop eating them. I’m hoping there will be enough for other people to try in the next few days!

  2. In a medium mixing bowl, combine butter and brownie mix. Add more butter if necessary  Press in the bottom of prepared pan.
  3. Sprinkle white chocolate and semi-sweet chocolate over the crust. Add crumbled cookies and pour sweetened condensed milk over top. Add more cookies if desired.
