Dreamy Magic Bars
Here is a holiday classic, magic bars, that will satisfy your sweet tooth. I remember growing up and making these yummy creations in the kitchen with my mom and sister. And wow, once constructed and placed in the oven, the flavor combination permeated through the house with deliciousness. It’s a fun and simple way to get your kids involved in the kitchen, without too much mess. Super simple to create and so versatile. You may use whatever you like. I always enjoyed the combination of chocolate chips and coconut. It’s definitely a crowd pleaser!
