These brownies are what happens when you blend all the ingredients in a magic bar together instead of layering them. While they may not look as impressive, they are so delicious. What I really love about these brownies is that they have the texture of a great brownie even though they aren’t made with traditional brownie ingredients. The brownies are fudgy, chewy, shiny and everything a brownie should be.

Ingredients

  • Chocolate chips
  • Condensed milk
  • Graham crackers
  • Walnuts

Magic bars do also usually contain shredded coconut. We left it out for these brownies because they are already so rich and have a lot of textures going on. But you can add shredded coconut to the brownies if you want.

Chocolate chips: The brownies are made with semi-sweet chocolate chips. We do recommend semi-sweet and not milk chocolate or white chocolate. The brownies will not set and will be too sweet if you use milk or white chocolate. The chocolate is melted down which is what creates the chocolate base for these brownies.

Condensed milk: Sweetened condensed milk acts as a binding agent and also creates a chewy, fudgy texture for these brownies.

Graham crackers: Graham crackers are crushed until fine crumbs and then added to the batter. They take the place of the flour used in brownies. They also add a nice honey flavor to the brownies.

Walnuts: Chopped walnuts are used to provide texture and to help cut some of the sweetness and richness of these brownies. I don’t normally like walnuts in my brownies but in this case I think they are really needed to prevent the brownies from tasting too rich.

How to Make Magic Bar Brownies

  • The chocolate chips are first melted until smooth. The condensed milk is then mixed in until the batter is uniform in color. The graham cracker crumbs are then stirred in. Finally, fold in the chopped walnuts.
  • The brownie batter is then poured into your prepared baking pan and baked until done.

Ingredients

  • 16 individual (60 g) graham crackers
  • 1 cup (169 g) semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1 (14 oz/397 g) can full fat sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/2 cup (54 g) chopped walnuts

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C). Line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides for easy removal later.
  • Add graham crackers to a food processor and process until they’re very finely crushed crumbs.
  • Add chocolate chips to a large microwave-safe bowl. Heat in the microwave at full power in 30 second increments, stirring in between with a spatula, until the chocolate is completely smooth and melted.
  • Add in the condensed milk and mix until the batter is uniform in color.
  • Stir in the crushed graham crackers until they are evenly combined. Finally, fold in the chopped walnuts. The batter will be very thick but do your best to stir until evenly combined.
  • Pour batter into the prepared baking pan. Use a spatula to even out the surface if needed.
  • Bake for about 30 to 35 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let brownies cool completely before cutting. Because of how fudgy the brownies are, I recommend using a large sharp knife and heating the blade by dipping it into hot water before cutting (wiping the blade clean after each cut).

Notes

  • Graham crackers are usually in a sheet with each sheet containing 4 individual crackers. This recipe uses 16 individual crackers or 4 cracker sheets.
  • Make sure to use semisweet chocolate and not milk or white chocolate. The brownies will not set with milk or white chocolate.
  • We didn't add shredded coconut to these brownies because they are already so rich and have so many different textures. But if you want to make them even more like magic bars, you can add shredded coconut.
  • We don't recommend leaving out the walnuts because we feel the brownies are too rich and sweet without them.
  • These brownies are very rich so we recommend cutting them into small squares for serving.
