Christmas Baking. Day 1. Cookie #2. Magic Cookie Bars.

Rosie's right back.
 Well, actually, she never left the kitchen.
It's still Tuesday, Day 1 of my Baking.

#2 Deliciosity:

Magic Cookie Bars

Ingredients for Magic Cookie Bars:
 1 stick butter
1 1/2 cups graham crackers, crushed
1 14-oz can sweetened condensed milk
 1 cup chocolate chips
 4 oz coconut

Melt 1 stick butter in a 9 x 13 baking pan in a 350 degree oven.

Here's a Rosie Cooking Tip # 639:
When a recipe calls for ghee, or clarified butter,
 this is what they're talking about.
To make clarified butter,
 all you do is slowly melt butter over a low heat.
 The milk solids will coagulate on top.
 You remove that part - the solids - and you have clarified butter.

Pour in 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs.
 FYI, when you buy a box of graham crackers,
 1 package inside is 1 1/2 cups crumbs.
 I put the crackers in a gallon bag and used a rolling pin to crush.
 Probably should've put them in the processor,
but I didn't want something else to wash.
My crumbs above should be fine.
 Not chunky.

So I spread and crushed and evened out the graham crust with my Lil' Brycer Rolling Pin.

Poured in sweetened condensed milk.

Sprinkle over the cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips.
 And People! Attention here.
 Never, EVER, buy the Food Lion brand of chocolate chips
. Apparently, this is one area of generea
where the rule doesn't apply.
 I always buy Nestles.
 Or Ghirardelli.

Next, add a layer of coconut.

Lastly, the pecans.

Ready for the oven.

350 degrees. 25-30 minutes.
 Cool and slice.
