Description

These festive Golden Christmas Magic Bars are the perfect holiday treat! A buttery graham cracker crust layered with sweetened condensed milk, chocolate chips, crunchy nuts, and topped with bright red candied cherries and marshmallows. Easy to make and visually stunning—no mixer required!

Ingredients

Scale

1½ cups (150g) graham cracker crumbs
½ cup (113g) unsalted butter, melted
1 can (14 oz / 397g) sweetened condensed milk
1 cup (170g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
½ cup (85g) white chocolate chips
1 cup (150g) candied red cherries (glacé cherries), halved
1 cup (50g) mini marshmallows
½ cup (60g) chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans), optional

Instructions

  1.     Preheat: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×13 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
  2. Crust: In a bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Press firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan.
  3. Layer: Pour the sweetened condensed milk evenly over the crust. Do not mix.
  4. Add Toppings: Sprinkle the chopped nuts, semi-sweet chocolate chips, and white chocolate chips over the milk layer.
  5.   Finish: Top with the halved candied cherries and mini marshmallows. Gently press them down with a fork so they stick.
  6. Bake: Bake for 25-30 minutes until edges are golden brown.
  7. Cool: Allow to cool completely in the pan (at least 2 hours) before lifting out and slicing into squares.

Notes

  •     Cooling is Key: Do not try to cut these warm, or they will fall apart. Chill in the fridge for cleaner cuts.
