I had a terrible time with these cookies. They stuck to the foil! What did I do wrong five stars

This is a quick, easy recipe that's hard to screw up. Can't go wrong with sweet, crunchy, and buttery :) It's also easy to improvise with; I added half a cup of white chocolate chips and used slivered almonds instead of pecans. I also used corn flakes instead of graham crackers. Simple & easy to snack on (beware!) five stars

When I make these bars, I pour the condensed milk over the whole thing, rather than just over the crumbs. I find it keeps them together better when I cut them up. They're always a hit and one of my favorites! five stars

A massive bolus of sugar and fat in each bite! Perfect for the holidays. I always use walnuts instead of pecans. five stars

Great, I have made this recipe for years. My aunt Margaret made this, however, we just did not add the pecans. I think next time I will try it with the nuts. My husband and kids love this Christmas Candy. five stars

I've made Magic Bars for the holidays for the past 35 years. This is the first time I have made them with the butterscotch chips and as always they were a big hit but this year even more so! Great recipe! five stars
