Oatmeal Magic Cookie Bars

Bars & Brownies

I failed at making dulche de leche… so I turned my fail into a win with these Oatmeal Magic Cookie Bars. 😉

Yes, you read that right… I failed at making dulche de leche. I’ve never made it before and I only had one can of condensed milk so I decided to try the stove top method I read about on The Pioneer Woman. I think that I turned my heat down too low so I ended up with barely butterscotch instead of a nice rich caramel color. Oh well, I’ll have to try it again.

Completely dissatisfied with my dulche de leche color, I was looking at the label of the condensed milk and thought… I’ve never made magic bars before. I loosely followed the recipe because I didn’t have any graham crackers and quite frankly I felt like having something with oatmeal.

I will definitely be making these again! They are super easy and boy are they tasty and indulgent… I may or may not have had 2 after my lunch the other day with a glass of milk of course. So good!

One of the things I love about these oatmeal magic bars is it’s one of those things that begins with a pantry dive for a little bit of this and a little bit of that and ends up with ooey gooey deliciousness. In addition to using oatmeal as the base I used 2 different kinds of chocolate chips, shredded coconut, and pecans.
