Recipe: Gooey Gluten-Free Magic Bars
Happy Valentine’s Day!
If you’re looking for something easy, fun, and yummy to make with the kiddies today (because you’re stressed out and complicated recipes give you an anxiety attack), here’s a recipe you’ll love! Officially our Fake Supermom Recipe #6: Magic Bars from one of CloudMom’s favorite foodies Jackie Ourman. This is an allergy-friendly recipe that’s perfect for Valentine’s Day. You can check out all of Jackie’s recipes at her amazing website CAFE (Celiac & Allergy Friendly Epicurean).
Have you ever eaten a Magic Bar? They are oh so magically delicious. The secret ingredient is the sweetened condensed milk that holds all of your delectable dry ingredients together and gives the bar it’s oooey gooey texture. This is a gluten-free recipe, but if you don’t have gluten issues, you can make this recipe from your favorite store-bought chocolate chip cookie dough or even the Pillsbury chocolate chip cookie dough that comes in a roll. Either way, you’ll still be making magic!

- Pour sweetened condensed milk over the cookie base
- Mix shredded coconut with semi-sweet chocolate chips and the 2 other toppings of your choice in a bowl

I know this one is going to cheer me up since, so far, I haven’t gotten any cards or chocolate (sniff!)… Wishing you & yours a very love-filled Valentine’s Day!
