    Oreo Magic Bars

    Oreo magic bars have an Oreo base and are topped with layers of chocolate chips, white chocolate chips, shredded coconut, and Oreo cookie pieces. It’s drizzled with sweetened condensed milk, which acts like a glue while also giving the bars that incredible gooey texture.

    These cookie bars are a fun twist on the classic seven layer magic bars. They come together in one pan, making the clean up extremely minimal and the dessert under 30 minutes.

    • Oreo Magic Bars

    Why this recipe works

    Texture – Each ingredient brings its own amazing texture and flavour.

    Minimal clean up – There’s only one bowl required to make the Oreo base. The rest is poured straight into the baking pan!

    Cookies and cream flavour – These bars are a fun twist on the classic seven layer magic bars. The Oreos and using an Oreo base gives them a delicious cookies and cream flavour.

    Sweetened condensed milk – holds the bars together and creates a gooey texture and irresistible sweetness.

    Ingredients Notes

    Butter – I used unsalted. This will be melted.

    Oreos. 1 package is used. Some will be processed to use in the base. The rest will be broken into pieces to place on top.

    Chocolate chips – I used semi-sweet. Dark works too. I think milk would be too sweet.

    White chocolate chips – A known classic in seven layer bars.

    Shredded coconut – Be sure to get unsweetened coconut so these bars aren’t over-the-top sweet.

    Sweetened condensed milk – The secret glue that holds these bars together. Make sure you use sweetened condensed milk and not evaporated milk.

    Substitution Ideas

    One of my favourite parts about this recipe is how much you can customize it just for you! If you’re allergic or don’t like the ingredients I used, you may omit it completely or substitute it. Here are a few ideas:

    Coconut – Oats give a similar texture! Rolled would be best.

    Nuts – Pecans, walnuts, macadamia, or almonds would be delicious.

    Chocolate chips – Milk, white, or dark all work! Just be aware of the sweetness.

    Graham crackers – Oreos were used, but in the original Seven Layer Magic Bars, a graham cracker base is used.

    Step by step instructions

    Here is how to make and bake these Oreo Magic Bars. You will need an 8×8 pan. Everything comes together in one bowl.

    Step 1 – Preheat oven to 350°F. Line an 8×8 baking dish with parchment paper or foil. If foil, then also grease the bottom and sides. Set aside.

    Step 2 – Make the base: Process Oreos using a food processor until fine crumbs appear. Add in melted butter and mix until the crumbs are completely coated in the butter. Press the base firmly into the bottom of the 8×8 pan.

    Step 3 – Layer the bars: Begin to add each ingredient into the pan, one at a time. The order I went in was white chocolate chips, shredded coconut, chocolate chips, and Oreos.

    Step 4 – Drizzle the sweetened condensed milk: Evenly distribute the milk across the entire pan evenly, coating all of the layers.

    Step 5 – Bake for 25-27 minutes or until it’s golden brown. Remove from the oven.

    Allow the bars to cool completely before slicing. This is essential and if the bars are still warm, they won’t slice well!

    Expert Baking Tips

    Here are a few baking tips from my kitchen to yours

    • Make sure you use sweetened condensed milk and not evaporated milk!
    • Allow the bars to completely cool before slicing into them. As they cool, they will set. If you slice them too early it’ll be a gooey mess!
    • To speed up the cooling process, place into the refrigerator.
    • Use good quality chocolate chips. I always use Chipits semi-sweet. The cheap kind won’t hold as well in these bars.

    FAQ

    What are each of the layers in a 7 layer bar?

    The layers are butter, Oreo crumbs, shredded coconut, chocolate chips, white chocolate chips, Oreo pieces, and sweetened condensed milk. 

    Can I replace the coconut?

    Yes you can! If you’re not a fan of coconut you may omit it or substitute it. A great substitution idea would be using oats for a similar texture! 

    Can I use a 9×13 pan?

    Yes! Your bars will just come out slightly thinner. I don’t recommend doubling the recipe for a 9×13 pan, they will be too thick.

    What are Oreo baking crumbs?

    They are a cookie baking crumb made by Oreo out of Oreo cookies. If you are unable to find these in your grocery store, just take whole Oreos and process them (cookie and filling) until fine crumbs. You will need 2 cups total.

    Storing & Freezing

    Magic Oreo Bars are best served at room temperature. Keep in an airtight container on your counter for up to 3 days. 

    You can store these Oreo Magic Bars in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 1 week.

    If you’d like to freeze the bars, place parchment paper in between each bar and place in a plastic bag or sealed container. Freeze for up to 3 months and thaw 2 hours prior on the counter to serve.
