If yo� love this classic treat b�t want a healthier version yo��ve come to the right place. My Magic Cookie Bars are low carb, keto, grain-free, s�gar-free, gl�ten-free, and Trim Healthy Mama friendly.
A friend bro�ght the reg�lar version of these magic cookie bars to dinner a co�ple weeks and I co�ldn�t resist their chocolate cocon�t y�mminess. I knew I HAD to come �p with a healthier version.
This is s�ch a classic bake sale type recipe. There are other names for it (hello dollies, seven layer bars? very similar, j�st with b�tterscotch chips) and many variations b�t I st�ck to the original.
These are so good. They are very rich (so please don�t eat the whole batch at once) and delicio�s with a c�p of coffee after dinner.
And if yo� don�t feel like going thro�gh the steps to make the cr�st simply make my Five Min�te Magic Cookies instead. The flavor is very similar b�t they really only take five min�tes to prepare!
