Valentine Magic Cookie Bars

Don't these cookies look delectable? Chocolate, coconut, M&M's sprinkles, condensed milk - mmm, all this goodness in one great bar.  I used to make a version of this recipe known as Seven Layer Cookies.  These cousins to the original bars have most of the same ingredients only they are kicked up a bit with M&M's and Sprinkles.

These cookies starts with a crust made from butter and graham cracker crumbs.  Next, and I must say my favorite ingredient, sweetened condensed milk is poured on top of the crust.  Some coconut is sprinkled over the milk followed by some chocolate chips, M&M's, and finally some sprinkles or nuts.  I used the sprinkles.

These bars are then baked in a 350 degree F oven for 25-30 minutes or until the bars are lightly browned.

These cookies are great for kids to make with minimal adult supervision.
