How did Magic Bars get their name?

The story of how Magic Bars got their name is some what of a mystery. But some people say the recipe became popular in the 1960s because of the musical “Hello, Dolly!” Name after the musical, another name for Magic Bars is “Hello Dollies”. Some people also call them “7 Layer Bars” because of all the different ingredients!

Do Magic Bars need to be refrigerated?

No, there is nothing in Magic Bars that requires them to be refrigerated. But you can certainly refrigerate them if you’d like! Storing them in the refrigerator may make them less crumbly, which some people prefer.
