Hello Duckies
Once a year, I get to make my Hello Duckies.
Now, traditionally these are called Hello Dollies or Magic Cookie Bars. I call them Hello Duckies because, well, it’s cute. And fun. And I can.
I posted these last year around Christmas, but I adore them so much I have to share them again.
Nuts…coconut…butterscotch chips…or chocolate.. or peanut butter chips…
Or all three on a graham cracker crust…
It’s delicious.
Trust me.
Magic Cookie Bars/ Hello Dollies
Ingredients
* 1/2 cup butter or margarine, melted
* 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
* 1 (14 ounce) can EAGLE BRAND® Sweetened Condensed Milk
* 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips (or butterscotch, peanut butter or white chocolate. Or both or a mixture!) (I used 1 1/2 bags)
* 1 1/3 cups flaked coconut
* 1 cup chopped nuts
Directions
1. Heat oven to 350 degrees F (325 degrees for glass dish). Coat 13×9-inch baking pan with no-stick cooking spray.
2. Combine graham cracker crumbs and butter. Press into bottom of prepared pan. Pour sweetened condensed milk evenly over crumb mixture. Layer evenly with chocolate chips, coconut and nuts. Press down firmly with a fork.
3. Bake 25 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool. Cut into bars or diamonds. Store covered at room temperature.
Stay tuned, Invisible Friends! Tomorrow we have the New Year’s Resolutions of the Pond!

Only once a year?!?! That’s a crime!

i love those! We have always called them Magic Cookie Bars but I am crossing it out and retitling my recipe card Hello Duckies. I love it!
December 30th, 2009 at 7:00 am
Yummy!! It looks like you had a great Christmas!!
December 30th, 2009 at 7:10 am
I used to make those every Christmas. Why did I stop?? I think that if I ever eat my way out of the fudge, I’ll have to make some!
December 30th, 2009 at 7:27 am
The Bossman would love these. Glad to read you had a great Christmas….WAY to busy for me. I love the boots………does he want to take me shopping for some
December 30th, 2009 at 7:49 am
I can see why you like them. YUMMY!
December 30th, 2009 at 8:09 am
You can make them anytime- you have my permission!
December 30th, 2009 at 8:36 am
I don’t think I have ever seen these! Hopefully I’ll remember these bars to try once I get back home!
I should probably figure out my new year’s resolutions!
December 30th, 2009 at 8:36 am
Thanks for stopping by my blog.
I like your name for them best, they look wonderful
December 30th, 2009 at 8:56 am
You use large nuts! They look delicious. I love layered bars!
December 30th, 2009 at 9:22 am
Very yummy looking. I have a recipe in one of my favorite cookbooks for Hello Dollies, but I think I’d rather call them Hello Duckies. Maybe with a better name, I’ll be more likely to make them!
December 30th, 2009 at 9:52 am
I think I’m in love! I want a Magic Cookie Bar right now!! Yes, I had a fabulous Christmas – though it would have been more spectacular if these had been present!! How was your Christmas, Duckie?!
December 30th, 2009 at 10:17 am
HAPPY NEW YEAR – may the joys of the season stay with you all year long!
December 30th, 2009 at 10:31 am
Wow, that looks amazing!
December 30th, 2009 at 10:47 am

Stopping by from SITS! These looks soooo good!
December 30th, 2009 at 11:00 am
Mmmmm, so tempting! Thanks for dropping by to say hello!!

Didn’t you read that I’m starting a diet???? Are you trying to keep me fat? I thought I was your best invisible friend.
December 30th, 2009 at 11:07 am
For the New Year’s Eve I dream a good orchestra with a harmonious sound and powerful basses playing a fabulous music! …But for this year it’s only a dream!…
Thanks for the delicious recipe!

That’s a retro recipe for me (I am old!). But thanks (I think) for the reminder of how good they are. Maybe I can get them made before my New Year’s Resolutions kick in ;>) Or maybe when they’re called duckies they don’t have as many calories as they did when they were called magic bars. One can always hope!
Happy New Year

Off to see if I have any sweetened condensed milk in the cupboard.
Happy New Year!
December 30th, 2009 at 12:01 pm
Oooooohhhhhh… Goodness gracious!
Those look divine!
I hope you had a wonderful Christmas!
December 30th, 2009 at 12:53 pm
They look delish, blond butterfly~
December 30th, 2009 at 1:10 pm
Sigh, you are not helping my resolution to go on a diet!
December 30th, 2009 at 1:18 pm
Holy cow Duckie, I could just dive headfirst into that tray!
Happy New Year to you and everyone and every critter at The Pond!

This looks delicious!!
I have a chihuahua and I loooove her (just thought I’d share hehe).
Thanks for stopping by my blog!

I used to make these at Christmas. They are sooooo good and addictive, but you can almost feel your teeth rot as you chew them. Aw heck, maybe I’ll make some more.
I came over from Chan’s blog. Congrats on the award.

i love these! We called them “Magic Bars” or “7 Layer Bars” cuz of the 7 ingredients (well, we used 1 C choc chips and 1 C butterscotch)!
hmmm… now I will have to go make some too!
December 30th, 2009 at 7:20 pm
These look incredibly delicious! I was looking for something to make with butterscotch chips. Their so yummy. I love everything in these.
December 30th, 2009 at 8:20 pm

Oh yeah I love those!
December 30th, 2009 at 8:43 pm
It’s nearly 11PM and I have every one of those ingredients in my fridge or baking cupboard right now. This is not good…
December 30th, 2009 at 9:07 pm
My husband adores these! Goes mad for them. Yours are certainly magical! Happy New Year – may all good things come to you in 2010.

Sweet Blond Duck,
I have been such a bad blogging friend. I will be back around it is that time in life that things are very crazy.
This recipe could make me just throw away the almost month of boot camp I have been doing. I have to make this.It looks so yummy!!
Hugs, Bobbi Jo

Looks very very yummy!
December 31st, 2009 at 5:16 pm
I have a chocolate-coconut bar recipe that is pretty much just like that (esp since I sub in half butterscotch chips for the choc chips) and you are so right: it is one of the best recipes ever!!
January 4th, 2010 at 3:21 pm
I love the use of the graham cracker crumbles. I bet these are amazing! Happy New Year
