Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Preheat and Prepare
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it to ensure easy removal of the bars.
2. Make the Base
Combine the melted butter and graham cracker crumbs in a bowl until well mixed. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan to create an even, sturdy crust.
3. Layer the Ingredients
Layer the remaining ingredients evenly on top of the crust:
-
Shredded coconut
-
Chocolate chips
-
Butterscotch chips
-
Chopped nuts
4. Add the Sweetened Condensed Milk
Pour the sweetened condensed milk evenly over the top of all the layers. This binds everything together while adding a rich, caramel-like sweetness.
5. Bake
Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbling around the edges.
6. Cool and Slice
Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan. For cleaner slices, chill in the fridge for about 1 hour before cutting into squares or rectangles.
Tips for Perfect Millionaire Magic Bars

Use quality chocolate: Semi-sweet chocolate chips provide a rich contrast to the sweetness of the condensed milk.

Customize your nuts: Toasted nuts add extra flavor and crunch.

Layer carefully: Spread each ingredient evenly to ensure every bite has a balanced mix.
-
Optional drizzle: For an extra decadent touch, drizzle melted chocolate or caramel on top before serving.
