Description
Dreaming of island flavors in a simple, shareable dessert? These Piña Colada Magic Bars are a tropical twist on the classic seven-layer bars and are bursting with pineapple, coconut, and creamy sweetness
Ingredients
2 cups graham cracker crumbs
½ cup unsalted butter, melted
1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
¾ cup crushed pineapple, well-drained
1 cup white chocolate chips
1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
½ cup chopped macadamia nuts (optional)
½ cup chopped maraschino cherries (optional, for color and sweetness)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×13-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
- Make the crust: In a bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until fully combined. Press evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan to form a firm base.
- Add the layers: Pour the sweetened condensed milk evenly over the crust. Top with the crushed pineapple, white chocolate chips, shredded coconut, macadamia nuts (if using), and cherries (optional).
- Bake for 25–30 minutes or until the edges are golden and the center is set. The coconut on top should be lightly toasted.
- Cool completely in the pan. For best slicing, chill in the fridge for 1–2 hours before cutting into bars.
- Slice and serve. Enjoy chilled or at room temperature for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
Drain the pineapple thoroughly—excess moisture can make the bars soggy
Press the crust firmly into the pan to prevent crumbling
Toast the coconut lightly before layering for an extra nutty aroma
Chill the bars before cutting for neater edges
Use parchment paper for easy removal from the pan
