Feel free to substitute walnuts or other nuts for the pecans, if you’re not a pecan fan, but keep in mind that toasted nuts are going to give you a much better flavor than untoasted, regardless of which nut you might be using. Par-cooked bacon is completely cooked at a lower temperature, so it has a chewy texture when it is added to the bars and can withstand a trip into the oven as the bars bake.Ĭut these into small pieces because they’re quite decadent. You don’t want to use bacon that is already super crispy because it may burn in the oven. They’re addictive – even if you don’t usually think about adding a meat product to your desserts! I used diced, par-cooked bacon for the bacon bits and you can use bacon bits that you can find in a store provided they’re made with 100% bacon and no artificial flavorings.

The mixture of sweetened condensed milk and maple syrup may sound exceptionally sweet – and it is sweet (though delicious) on its own, but that sweetness is balanced out by the salty flavor of all that bacon and the finished bars don’t taste overly sweet.

They have a maple-infused graham cracker crust as their base, which is topped with semisweet chocolate, toasted pecans, shredded coconut and a generous dose of bacon. These Maple Bacon Magic Bars are a salty-sweet version of the classic Magic Bar. They’re also very easy to adapt if you want to play around with those base flavors, because the ingredients for the bars are essentially just layered together in a pan and baked. Magic bars are an easy-to-make bar cookie recipe that use some of my favorite main ingredients: chocolate, nuts and coconut.
