Who has been baking more now that we’re spending so much time at home? My 12 year old has been baking a lot more than usual. In fact, this week she’ll be making homemade yeast rolls for Easter dinner.
I wanted to share a very easy Magic Bars recipe that is perfect for Easter. The thing I love about Magic Bars is they are really easy to make with minimal ingredients. Magic cookie bars are an old-fashioned favorite. Layering all the goodness of candy, chocolate chips, nuts and coconut and then setting them in a caramelized layer on top of a graham cracker crust – how can you go wrong?
