Coconut Magic Bars Recipe

These coconut magic bars (sometimes called magic cookie bars or even just magic bars) are so easy to make that it’s almost funny.

It doesn’t seem like something so TASTY could result from layering a few ingredients in a baking dish. Y’all, these coconut magic bars are like HEAVEN.

For a different twist, try these decadent mint chocolate magic bars.

I don’t typically go for dessert recipes that are quite this decadent, but I am just such a huge fan of the flavor combination. I am in love with coconut, chocolate, and pecans.

I could literally eat a whole pan of these bars!
