Magic Bars Recipe + Video

This Magic Bars recipe makes a classic holiday treat. Magic cookie bars are chewy, sweet, and SO easy to make! They make a great addition to holiday cookie platters.

Whether you enjoy Magic Bars warm from the oven or store in a air tight container to enjoy the next day, they are super delicious! In fact, I think I prefer them to be a day old as they harden up a little bit, but, still super soft.
