Holy Yum! Magic Cake Bars
When ever I see Magic Cookie Bars, my mind floats back to Christmas baking with my mom and sister. We made Magic Cookie Bars every Holiday season. These bars are extremely rich with a caramelized combination of chocolate, coconut, and nuts on top of a graham cracker crust. I was excited to discover a fun twist on this indulgent treat over at Lynn’s Kitchen Adventures. Instead of using graham crackers, she used a devil’s food cake mix as the base to create Magic Cake Bars. I am going to have to try this version soon. Many versions of Magic Cookie Bars exist. I believe they are also frequently called Seven Layer Bars. I have never tried butterscotch chips in my recipe like Lynn used in her cake bars. I am definitely adding them next time. Do you have a version of these bars that you make? Do you have a special twist on the recipe to share?
7 layer bars are one of my favorite cookies! I love ‘em! I make them with peanut butter chips instead of butterscotch, They are DELISH.
Yes, those do indeed deserve a HOLY YUM!
Thank you! I am so glad that you these.
Love these! Thanks Megan!
I don’t have a version but I really should get on trying to do a healthier version of them! yum!! I’ll let you know if I ever figure it out
Mmm, mmm, magic!
P.S. – I’ve seen 5 layer and 14 layer bars before:

These bring back good memories! I haven’t made them in years.
Yummy! These look great!
looks soooo good! I love 7 layer bars…MAJOR party in my mouth!
Holy Yum is right! I’ve never made these but have always enjoyed them.
Holy Yum! These sound so good.
I love Christmas memories
Bars like this are sweet because everyone has a variation, but they all have great stuff in common. I’ve seen marshmallows, butterfingers, chips of all shapes and sizes… the ideas are endless. Yours gets an early holiday A++…. you two pluses
I’ve actually never made these before! I should definitely add them to my holiday repertoire
Always looking for new Christmas recipes!
I actually forgot about these little gems!! How could I?! My favorite version is actually made with animal crackers
These have been a favorite for years in our home. Love them. The devils food sounds like it would be a fantastic adaptation.
