Yes, this is a great recipe. Crushing the graham cracker crumbs in a Cuisinart helps to keep the bottom crust solid. This recipe has appeared on cans of sweetened condensed milk for many years, under the name "Magic Bars" with shredded coconut added between the morsel layers. Using chocolate, butterscotch and peanut butter chips is a good combo too. five stars

Excellent and easy to make! The grocery store didn't have brickle chips that day so I used crumbled Heath bars. Everyone wanted the recipe at our cookie exchange. I'm making them again today for Christmas and I'm just going to use the Heath Bars because they tasted so good! five stars

This is great and easy to make too. The only suggestion I'd make is to use more nuts. Also, it did take a long time to cool to where I could take the cut bars out. They kept falling apart when hot.

I haven't seen any almond chips, so I've been using butterscotch chips and, once, peanutbutter chips. five stars

I loved this recipe. A twist to the old Magic Cookie Bar recipe. It was so easy, and forgiving. Never turned out a bad batch. One guy at work asked for more. I made them for work, family and friends and all exclaimed how good they were. I've made 4 batches this week alone. Definitely a keeper! five stars

These are great! I changed the recipe a little, by necessity and by accident, and they still turned out yummy. (I only had cinnamon graham crackers so
I used those. The store was out of brickle chips so I substituted butterscotch. Then I had 12 oz. bags of butterscotch and chocolate chips and forgot to only pour in 1/2 of the bag, so I put in a whole 12 oz of each instead of 6 oz. No problem! I think you could do anything to this recipe and it would still turn out good.) Pecans or peanuts would add a special touch to this recipe, although I used walnuts because they were cheap! five stars

I made this recipe this past weekend for our annual cookie bake and it was delicious!! I am actually making it again right now for Christmas. This time I am going to use a bit less chocolate chips (I think with all the cookies I ate I have had way too much chocolate) I made one batch with condensed milk and the other with fat free condensed milk and could not taste the difference although the fat free milk was harder (thicker) to work with. A very easy recipe!! Thank you!! five stars
