These gooey bars are utterly incredible! A sweet milky chocolate-y filling, crunchy coconut topping all on a buttery crust…seriously addictive! These are the bars you’ll be asked to bring again and again. You better have them stored up for all of the times you’ll be asked to make them!

There are some recipes that seem to be universally loved. Just about any potluck, picnic, or event will have a variation of them.
These bars are one of those recipes. A cross between a classic magic bar and a 7-layer bar, these are straight decadent.


The crust is a simple shortbread type of crust. All buttery goodness.


And the filling! Oh gosh, the classic mixture of condensed milk, coconut, and chocolate chips. That never ceases to please.

Pile all of that sweet and gooey filling on the buttery crust, add more coconut for a crunchy top, and it is just impossible not to love these bars. They are just that good.

We serve them up with a glass of milk or cup of coffee. And keep those servings on the small size…these bars are rich and decadent!
