If you are looking for a delicious, easy, make-ahead treat for Easter, this recipe for Easter Magic Bar is for you!
All I did was take my traditional recipe for Magic Bars/Hello Dolly Squares (some people call them Magic Bars and some Hello Dolly Squares) and tweaked it a bit to make them more ”Eastery”. (I don’t think that’s even a word…but you get the idea!)
I love how they turned out, not only do that taste amazing, the pretty pastel colours look very Easter and springlike!
- Graham Cracker Base:
- ½ cup butter, melted
- 1+1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 3 Tablespoons sugar

- 1+ ¼ cup flaked coconut
- 225g ( ~ 1cup) White Chocolate Chips

- Graham Cracker Base:
- Combine the crumbs and sugar; add melted butter and blend well. Press onto the bottom of a parchment lined 9" x 13" baking pan.
- Refrigerate for 30 minutes or bake at 375° for 8-10 minutes or until crust is lightly browned.
- Cool on a wire rack before adding remaining ingredients.
- Toppings:
- Carefully pour the sweetened condensed milk over the graham cracker crust, try to get it as even as possible.
- As evenly as possible, sprinkle over the base, chopped walnuts, followed by coconut, then white chocolate chips and finally the mini eggs.
- Using the palm of your hand press the entire mixture down slightly into the milk.
- Bake in a 350° oven for ~ 25 mins or until lightly browned around the edges.

This was very easy to make and is so pretty. I had my chocolate eggs in the fridge as it was under ‘refrigerated’. So all the Cadbury eggs cracked when I put them in the oven. It actually looks great!
