Magic Bars

Magic bars--my favorite dessert in the shape of a bar. I suppose it's the delicious mix of chocolate and toasted sweetened coconut on a graham cracker crust. It's also surprisingly easy to make. In fact, I'm sure a child can make it for you...why don't I have children again?

The great thing about magic bars, is you can mix and match the toppings. This time I omitted nuts (walnuts work best), and added butterscotch chips instead. I think I will try using candied cherries next time.
