Gluten-Free Chocolate-Hazelnut-Cherry Magic Bars
Ingredients
- 2 cups gluten-free graham cracker crumbs about 10 ounces
- 2 cups coarsely chopped hazelnuts
- 2 cups sweetened shredded coconut about 7 ounces
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 1 cup dried cherries chopped in half
- 3/4 cup 1-1/2 sticks unsalted butter, melted
- One 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325°F.
- Lightly grease a 13x9x2-inch baking pan.
- Mix together all the ingredients except the sweetened condensed milk in a large bowl.
- Transfer the mixture to the prepared pan and pat down evenly with your hands.
- Pour the sweetened condensed milk over the top to cover. Use a spatula to ensure that it’s spread evenly.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until lightly golden. Do not under cook or they will likely crumble when cut.
- Cool to room temperature, cover tightly with plastic wrap, and allow to set overnight before cutting and serving.
Notes
* You can use 2 cups (10 ounces) of regular graham crackers in place of the gluten-free graham crackers.
* Grind the graham crackers in a Vitamix, blender or food processor.
* I recommend using Kinnikinnick Foods Company’s Gluten-Free KinniKritter Graham Style Animal Cookies or Gluten-Free S'moreables Graham Style Crackers – they have the same ingredients, just take different shapes.
* I like to cut each dried cherry in half as they tend to be a bit too large for a cookie or a bar.
