Cut 2 pieces of parchment paper as wide as your pan and leave the pieces as long as the sheet comes (the excess will create handles that you can use to lift the bars out the pan after baking). Lay one piece of parchment in the pan, with overhang on both sides. Tuck the paper into the corners of the pan. Spray the parchment paper in the pan with cooking spray. Place the second sheet on top, positioning it so that the excess parchment covers the other two sides of the pan and is tucked into the corners; set aside.”,”image”:{“id”:”c2e9f9472925c6aeb2b007d33fbf3540aa39355f”,”width”:5760,”height”:3840,”format”:”JPEG”,”created_by_id”:757,”updated_by_id”:null,”created_at”:”2016-11-20T17:01:13.065-05:00″,”updated_at”:”2016-11-20T17:01:13.065-05:00″,”credit_style”:”external”,”credit_author_id”:757,”credit_name”:”Lauren Volo”,”credit_url”:”http://www.laurenvolo.com”,”credit_email”:””,”credit_custom”:””,”credit_license”:””,”credit_linked_post_id”:null,”focus_x”:null,”focus_y”:null,”filename”:”HT_MagicBars_27969_.jpg”,”alt_text”:null,”exclude_from_color_search”:false,”crop”:null,”ancestor”:null}},{“image_id”:”75e1437c242052065af3745f639d55bc0b253c65″,”caption”:”\u003cb\u003eHeat the oven:\u003c/b\u003e Arrange a rack in the middle of the oven.

This is a supremely easy, wildly versatile, insanely tasty pan-cookie recipe. No one knows exactly when it was created or by whom, but when it was popularized in the late 1960s, it quickly became the recipe moms knew by heart and kids clamored for.

With a handful of pantry staples like canned condensed milk and graham crackers, these bar cookies are crispy, sandy, creamy, gooey, sweet, chocolatey, and nutty. Consider this bar part-candy, part-cookie, and all delicious.
