Magic Cookie Bars

There is nothing better than being able to put together an all time favorite dessert recipe in less than 5 minutes! Growing up my Dad always made these and substituted the graham crackers for oats. In keeping tradition, I love the yummy taste of these Magic Cookie Bars! They are good right out of the oven with ice cream or put them in the fridge and serve them cold later on - which is what I prefer. There are no tricks and no possible way you can mess up. Enjoy!
