Ingredients
- 4 sheets matzo crackers
- 113 grams unsalted butter or margarine (Passover-friendly)
- 1 can (397 grams) sweetened condensed coconut milk
- 240 grams semi-sweet chocolate chips (Passover-certified)
- 120 grams shredded unsweetened coconut
- 120 grams chopped nuts (walnuts, pecans, or almonds)
- 1 pinch kosher salt
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line a 9x13-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
Step 2
Break the matzo sheets into smaller pieces and pulse them in a food processor to create fine crumbs. Alternatively, place the sheets in a resealable bag and crush them with a rolling pin.
Step 3
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter or margarine. Add the matzo crumbs to the butter and mix until evenly coated.
Step 4
Press the matzo crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish to form an even crust. Ensure it is compact to hold the layers together.
Step 5
Pour the sweetened condensed coconut milk evenly over the crust, using a spatula to spread it to the edges.
Step 6
Sprinkle the chocolate chips evenly over the condensed milk layer, followed by the shredded coconut, and then the chopped nuts. Gently press down on the layers to help them adhere.
Step 7
Finish with a light pinch of kosher salt sprinkled evenly on top to enhance the flavors.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the coconut topping is lightly toasted.
Step 9
Remove the Magic Bars from the oven and allow them to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack, about 1-2 hours.
Step 10
Once cooled, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the bars from the pan. Slice into 12 squares or rectangles and serve.
Step 11
Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
