Great Grandma Hansen's Magic Bars



This recipe has been handed down to me from my husband's great grandmother. It's a Lerche family tradition to make these every year at Christmas time. They're super easy, kids can help and absolutely delicious!

Ingredients:

1 and 1/2 cup of crushed cornflakes
3 tbsp sugar
1 stick of butter, melted
1 cup chocolate chips
1 and 1/3 cup of coconut
1 cup of chopped nuts (pecans, walnuts, whatever you prefer)
1 can of sweetened condensed milk

Directions:

Pre-heat oven to 350 F.

In an 8x8 baking dish, combine cornflakes, sugar and melted butter. Press down until it evenly covers the bottom of the dish.

Pour chocolate chips in an even layer over the cornflake mixture.

Sprinkle coconut evenly over the top of the chocolate chips.

Spread the chopped nuts over the coconut.

Pour the entire can of sweetened condensed milk over the top, making sure to evenly cover.

Bake for 25 minutes or so, until the edges and top are golden brown.

Let cool completely before cutting into 12-16 bars.
