Crock Pot Magic Bars

The idea for this idea came from our favorite Fix-It and Forget-It Cookbook but Barbara modified it using our mom’s recipe. She makes Seven Layer Bars (or Magic Bars) every Christmas. It’s just one of the many Christmas cookies she makes. When we say many, think at least a dozen different types of cookies including Dainty Logs, Three Layer Chocolate Squares, Chocolate Nut Cookies, French Buttercreams and Granny’s Sugar Cookies.

A great thing about most of the cookies she makes is that they all freeze really well. As you can probably guess, Mom has to start baking weeks before the holidays to be able to make all the different cookies so she’s mastered the art of freezing cookies over the years!

Notes About Crock Pot Seven Layer Bars:

  • Barbara used her casserole crock pot for this recipe and it was – in her words – perfection!
  • For easy removal from the crock pot, layer two sheets of parchment paper so that they hang over the insert. Once the cookies are done baking, pull on the sheets and the entire pan of cookies will remove easily.
  • It’s so great to be able to pull a couple of tins out of the freezer and have yummy cookies throughout the holiday season!
  • For the nut layer in these slow cooker magic bars, we prefer to use pecans or walnuts.

How to Make Slow Cooker Seven Layer Cookies:

Instructions:

  1. Line the crock pot insert with parchment paper.
  2. Pour melted butter into the insert; sprinkle graham cracker crumbs over top.
  3. Pour sweetened condensed milk over top.
  4. Sprinkle chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, coconut and nuts over the sweetened condensed milk; gently press down the ingredients.
  5. Cover with the lid; cook on high for 3 hours or until set with the edges being golden brown.
  6. Pull out the cookies by lifting the parchment paper. Once set, cut into bars.
