Magic Bars
1 box (14.4 oz.) graham crackers
1 cup peanuts, toasted
2 sticks unsalted butter, melted, plus 1 Tbsp. for greasing the baking dish
8 oz. dark chocolate (milk, semisweet, or bittersweet), finely chopped
6 oz. white chocolate, finely chopped
1 cup shredded sweetened coconut
1-1/2 cups Peanut Brittle (see recipe) or 1-1/2 cups roughly chopped and toasted peanuts plus 1/2 cup roughly chopped chocolate-covered toffee (like a Heath bar)
1/2 cup roughly chopped peanuts
14-oz. can sweetened condensed milk |
Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9 x 11-inch baking dish with butter and set aside. Using a food processor, grind graham crackers and peanuts together to make fine crumbs. Place the crumbs in a medium bowl and mix in melted butter. Transfer to prepared baking dish; pat into an even, solid crust; and set aside. Mix the chocolates with coconut, peanut brittle (or chopped peanuts and chopped toffee), chopped peanuts, and condensed milk in large bowl. Pour over crust and bake until chocolate is partially melted and coconut is browned, about 20 minutes. Cool overnight before cutting into squares. Makes 16 bars.
