Ingredients
Scale
For the Crust
2 cups(200 g) graham cracker crumbs
½ cup(115 g) unsalted butter, melted
2 tablespoonsgranulated sugar
For the Topping
1can (14 oz / 397 g) sweetened condensed milk
1½ cups(120 g) sweetened shredded coconut
¾ cup(130 g) white chocolate chips
½ cup(85 g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 cup(125 g) fresh raspberries, gently dried
¼ cup(30 g) chopped almonds (optional)
2 tablespoonsraspberry jam
Instructions
Prepare the Baking Pan
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Line a 9 × 13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides for easy removal.
Lightly grease the parchment paper.
Make the Graham Cracker Crust
In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar.
Stir until the crumbs are evenly coated and resemble wet sand.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared pan.
Press firmly into an even layer using the bottom of a measuring cup.
Bake for 8 minutes, then remove from the oven and let it cool slightly.
Add the Coconut and Chocolate
Pour the sweetened condensed milk evenly over the warm crust.
Sprinkle the shredded coconut across the surface.
Add the white chocolate chips, semi-sweet chocolate chips, and chopped almonds.
Distribute the ingredients evenly so every bar has a little of each topping.
Add the Raspberry Layer
Gently scatter the fresh raspberries over the chocolate and coconut.
Avoid pressing them too deeply into the mixture, as they can release extra moisture.
Warm the raspberry jam slightly and drizzle it over the top for an extra fruity flavor.
Bake the Magic Bars
Bake for 22–27 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the coconut is lightly toasted.
The center may look slightly soft when removed from the oven, but it will firm up as the bars cool.
Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan for at least 2 hours.
Slice and Serve
Use the parchment paper overhang to lift the cooled bars from the pan.
