Description

Magic cookie bars can be made gluten-free by making a peanut butter base out of 3 simple ingredients. Layer with chocolate chips, nuts, and coconut for a decadent treat.

Ingredients

2 cups white sugar
2 large eggs
2 cups peanut butter
3/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips
3/4 cup dark chocolate chips
1/2 cup chopped raw pecans
1/2 cup chopped raw almonds
1 cup flaked coconut
1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a 9x13-inch glass baking dish with parchment paper.
2 Mix sugar and eggs together in a bowl until smooth; stir in peanut butter until well blended. Pour peanut butter mixture into the prepared baking dish.
3 Bake in the preheated oven until cookie base is partly cooked, 8 minutes.
4 Layer semisweet chocolate chips, dark chocolate chips, pecans, almonds, and coconut onto the cookie base. Slowly pour sweetened condensed milk evenly over the toppings.
5 Bake in the preheated oven until coconut is slightly brown, about 30 minutes.
6 Cool completely before removing cookie bars from pan. Peel away parchment paper and cut into small squares using a sharp knife.
