Magic Cookie Bars
We tried making magic cookie bars in the de Jongs’ oven the other day with a bunch of ingredients that were CLOSE, but not quite what the recipe calls for. It did taste good, but what with all the substitutions, I’m not sure they really could be called magic cookie bars.
So, instead of graham cracker crumbs, we chopped up coconut biscuits (bis-quits). We did have margarine and sweetened condensed milk, so no substitutions there. Then, instead of shredded coconut, I found “coconut powder” which is somewhere in between powder and shredded coconut. And for chopped nuts, we chopped peanuts into near powder… Finally, we haven’t been able to find chocolate chips anywhere, so we chopped up some chocolate bars, which seems like it would have been okay, except that they didn’t melt and turned into hard (but not burned) chunks of the same shape.
