Cadbury Mini Eggs 7-Layer Magic Bars

Cadbury Mini Eggs 7-Layer Magic Bars - made March 20, 2021 from Together as a Family

Just in time for Easter or, more importantly, for the after-Easter sales on Cadbury mini eggs, here's a springtime way to dress up the traditional Magic Cookie Bar recipe: chop up those pastel eggs of milk chocolate goodness and layer them on top of any traditional magic cookie bar.

I love these things; they're my favorite Easter candy. Never come near me with anything from the Peeps family and I will side-eye jelly beans any day of the week. But wave this magical bag of Cadbury mini eggs at me and you're my new best friend. At least while the mini eggs last.

The "hardest" part is cutting the eggs in 2. Notice that I didn't say "in half" because there's no way to cut them exactly in half so don't even try. The point is just to cut them into smaller pieces than the full-on mini egg. Not only does that provide more coverage of mini egg goodness on top of the magic cookie bar but it's also more visually interesting to see the inside milk chocolate and the outside pastel shells mixed up on top.

It's also easier to eat that way but let's face it, eating this was never going to be a problem for me. If you like magic cookie bars, try this version any time of the year. Just don't forget to stock up the day after Easter Sunday and grab whatever bags are left on sale.

1/2 cup (1 stick) melted butter

1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs

1 cup shredded coconut

1/2 cup chopped pecans, lightly toasted

1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk

1/2 cup milk chocolate chips

1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips

1/2 cup white chocolate chips

1 1/2 cups chopped Cadbury mini eggs

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 9 x 13 baking pan with foil and lightly spray with nonstick cooking spray.
2. Combine melted butter and graham cracker crumbs in a bowl. Mix until well combined. Press into prepared pan in an even layer.
3. Sprinkle coconut and pecans over the crust.
4. Drizzle the sweetened condensed milk over it. Top with chocolate chips and chopped Cadbury eggs. Gently press top on the top to adhere to the crust.
5. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. Cool completely before cutting.
