These magic bars with macadamia nuts are INSANELY delicious and seriously couldn’t be easier to make. This gourmet recipe combines rich chocolate, crunchy macadamia nuts, and sweet coconut for a quick sweet treat that's so simple to make.

- 1 9×9 baking dish
- Parchment paper
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups Graham cracker crumbs
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 1/3 cup melted butter
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup butterscotch morsels optional! If you don’t like butterscotch skip this or substitute with more chocolate chips
- 1 cup salted macadamia nuts
- 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
- 1 14 ounce can condensed milk
Instructions
- Prep and Preheat: Preheat oven to 350F (170 C). Line a 9×9 greased baking pan with parchment paper, this makes life easier when it's time to slice and serve.
- Crust: Mix 1 1/2 cups Graham cracker crumbs, 1/2 cup almond flour, and 1/3 cup melted butter until combined Then add 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract and mix again. Press into the bottom of the lined 9×9 pan in an even layer to form the crust.

- Bake: Bake at 350F for about 25 minutes. The magic bars, especially the macadamia nuts, will become a golden brown when ready.
- Cool and serve: Remove the bars from the oven and allow to cool completely before slicing into squares. Enjoy!
Could recipe be doubled and baked in 9 x 13 pan ?
Also if no macadamia nuts, could salted cashews be used ?
Plan on making these for a church bake sale. Would like to do larger batch.
Thanks~
Hi Therese! While I haven’t tested it, I think you can make the recipe in a 9×13 by increasing each ingredient by an additional 50% (essentially making it 1.5 times each ingredient). For example, instead of 1/2 cup almond flour, use 3/4 cups and so on. Bake times may differ too, so I’d recommend keeping a close eye on it.
I think salted cashews would be amazing here. Great idea.
So happy you’re making this. I hope you all LOVE it. Enjoy!
