Ingredients You’ll Need

• ½ cup salted butter, melted

• 1½ cups graham cracker crumbs

• 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut

• ½ cup chopped pecans

• 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk

• ½ cup milk chocolate chips

• ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

• ½ cup white chocolate chips

• 1½ cups chopped Cadbury Mini Eggs

Kitchen Equipment Needed

• 9×13-inch baking dish

• Parchment paper or cooking spray

• Mixing bowls

• Spatula or spoon

• Measuring cups and spoons

• Sharp knife (for chopping Mini Eggs)

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prepare Your Baking Dish

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly spray your 9×13 baking dish with cooking spray or line it with parchment paper.
Tip: Lining with parchment paper not only prevents sticking but also makes it so much easier to lift the bars out for clean slicing later!

2. Create the Crust

In a mixing bowl, combine the melted salted butter with the graham cracker crumbs. Mix until the texture resembles coarse, wet sand. Press the mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish to form the crust.

3. Layer the Goodness

Sprinkle the shredded coconut and chopped pecans evenly over the crust. Next, drizzle the entire can of sweetened condensed milk over the top, ensuring even coverage.

4. Add the Chocolate Magic

Now for the best part—layer the milk chocolate chips, semi-sweet chocolate chips, white chocolate chips, and finally the star ingredient, the chopped Cadbury Mini Eggs. Gently press everything down with your hands or the back of a spatula to help it all stick together while baking.

5. Bake and Cool

Bake the bars for 20–25 minutes or until the edges are a beautiful golden brown.
Let the bars cool completely in the pan for about an hour before slicing into squares or rectangles. This resting time allows the layers to set properly, making cutting much cleaner and easier.

Tips for Perfect Magic Bars Every Time

• Chop the Cadbury Mini Eggs carefully: Use a sharp knife and a firm, steady hand. You can also lightly tap them inside a zip-top bag with a rolling pin to crack them without shattering.

• Don’t overbake: Keep an eye on the edges—once they are golden, it’s time to pull them out. The center will continue to set as it cools.

• Press the layers down gently: After layering your chips and Mini Eggs, a gentle press ensures they meld into the condensed milk layer, creating cohesive bars.

• Use fresh parchment paper: If you use parchment paper, make sure it fits the pan with some overhang. This makes lifting the bars out much simpler.

Recipe Variations and Swaps

• Nut-free version: Simply omit the pecans or replace them with more coconut or an extra handful of chocolate chips.

• Other chocolates: Substitute caramel chips, peanut butter chips, or butterscotch chips for any of the chocolate chips.

• Different cookies: Try using crushed Oreos, Nilla wafers, or even digestive biscuits instead of graham crackers for the base.

• Holiday twist: Swap Cadbury Mini Eggs for other seasonal candies like Reese’s Pieces for Halloween or red and green M&Ms for Christmas!

How to Store Your Cadbury Egg 7 Layer Magic Bars

These bars are easy to store and keep well, making them perfect for prepping ahead of a busy holiday weekend.

• Room Temperature: Store the cooled and cut bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

• Refrigerator: For a firmer texture, keep them in the fridge for up to a week.

• Freezer: Freeze individually wrapped bars (in plastic wrap or parchment paper) inside a freezer-safe container or bag for up to 2 months. Thaw at room temperature before enjoying.

Perfect Food and Drink Pairings

• Coffee or Espresso: The rich bitterness balances the sweetness of the bars beautifully.

• Milk: A classic pairing—whole, almond, or oat milk work great.

• Tea: Try a lightly sweetened black tea or a chai for a cozy vibe.

• Vanilla Ice Cream: Serve a square of magic bar with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an ultimate dessert experience!

FAQ: Cadbury Egg 7 Layer Magic Bars

Can I make these bars ahead of time?
Yes! They are actually even better the next day as the flavors meld together beautifully overnight.

Can I leave out the coconut?
Absolutely. If coconut isn’t your thing, you can omit it or replace it with extra chopped nuts or crushed cookies.

How do I make cleaner cuts?
Chill the bars in the fridge for about 30 minutes before cutting. Use a sharp knife wiped clean between each slice.

Can I use unsalted butter instead of salted?
Yes, but you might want to add a small pinch of salt to the graham cracker crumb mixture to balance the sweetness.

What if I don’t have parchment paper?
A well-sprayed baking dish works fine. Just make sure to let the bars cool completely before trying to remove them.
