Magic Squares


magic squares

The has been a family holiday favorite since I was around 10 years old. I believe it was a recipe off the side of a graham cracker box, but we got it from a family friend.

Magic Squares

1 stick of butter
1 package graham crackers (1/2 box of crackers)
1/2 bag chocolate chips
1 cup chopped walnuts
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1 bag shredded cocoanut

Place the stick of butter in a large baking pan (9 x 13) and place in a warm oven until the butter melts.

Make graham cracker crumbs by placing the graham crackers in a blender, a food processor, or by smashing them by hand (I've done all three). Pour the graham cracker crumbs into the baking pan full of butter and spread them around until you have a full layer of crumbs. Press down to compact it into a crust.

Spread a layer of chocolate chips over the crackers. Sprinkle a layer of walnuts over the chocolate chips, then pour the sweetened condensed milk over the walnuts. Sprinkle shredded cocoanut on top.

Bake at 375 for approximately 20-25 minutes, until the cocoanut has begun to brown. Remove from the oven and allow to cool before slicing into squares.

Magic Squares!

Floyd, how could you? Those look absolutely wonderful, but I'm pretty sure they aren't lo-cal? My doctor fusses about me eating bread and I think Magic Bars might make him dump me as a patient. Eat one for me, please, A.

Floyd, dang you for posting this! :o) Just kidding - I'm so excited because I LOVE ooey gooey treats like this.  My niece who loves to cook and bake will flip when I show her this recipe - she is crazy about coconut and everything else in these.  This is a definate must try for me.  Thanks and YUM!

Graham crackers

Goodness, a nation without graham crackers?! We in America generally grow up on them--one of the first solid foods to shove into a baby's pudgy little fist because they mush up so nicely when added to, uh, saliva..

They are crisp, dry, flat, slightly sweet rectangles that were developed to include graham flour but usually don't nowadays. Good ones are pleasant, bad ones resemble sawdust before and after you bite into them.

They are often crushed to make a crumb crust in combination with sugar and butter, for cheesecakes and other desserts, like this sinful concoction of Floyd's.

They're also nice spread with peanut butter and honey. And a glass of chocolate milk..

Graham Crackers

dmol,

Digestive biscuits or wholemeal biscuits in the UK are similar to graham crackers. Perhaps Australia also has digestive biscuits.
