Every year our family does a treat exchange at our Bitner Family Christmas party. The basic gist of it is that you make a plate of treats for every family to take home with them. Then you have a bunch of yummy treats to celebrate your holiday without the fuss of having to make them all. I love it! It is like getting to take the party home with you. Not too mention all the goodies. Oh the goodies!
This year I was going to do a bag of our favorite frozen potstickers from costco- easy peasy but then I saw these bars. So I decided to try and make them on a whim. Best whim ever! They are buttery and sweet and salty and caramely. Oh baby! They are crazy easy to make too. So now these are a serious contender for our treat exchange. I typed up the recipe because I slightly adapted the original recipe. I added nuts. Thats it! HA!
Caramel Pretzel Magic Cookie Bar
6 tbsp butter, melted
1 1/2 C graham cracker crumbs
25-50 pretzels
1 14 oz can sweetened condensed milk
1 C pecans, chopped
1 C semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 C sweetened coconut flakes
1 C caramel bits
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Put the can of sweetened condensed milk in a bowl of hot water to help it pour easily. Do not pour it into bowl-leave in can!! Mix and press graham cracker crumbs and butter in a 9x13 pan. Pack down firmly. Drizzle half of the can of sweetened condensed milk over crumb crust. Layer pretzels tightly over sweetened condensed milk. Sprinkle pecans, chocolate chips, coconut flakes and caramel bits over the pretzels evenly. Pour the remaining sweetened condensed milk over the top. Bake for 25 minutes or until slightly browned. Let cool completely before cutting!
They are awesome!
