How to make Brownie Magic Bars for Christmas
Got a Christmas party coming up? Needing a dessert for a holiday get-together? Well, gather your ingredients and get ready to make some amazing Brownie Magic Bars for Christmas! Don’t forget the holiday sprinkles!
First, add the butter, salt, chocolate pudding, and sugar into a microwave safe bowl.
Next, heat up the ingredients in the microwave in 30 second intervals, stirring afterwards. Keep doing this until the butter and sugar are combined together. (NOTE: the mixture will be grainy, but that’s ok)
Then add in the four eggs (one at a time) and the vanilla. Mix everything together very well.
Pour the brownie batter into a prepared baking pan and bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes. (You want the outside of the brownie should be set and the inside to be jiggly.)
Now add the toppings! Sprinkle about half of the marshmallows, M&Ms, coconut flakes, and chocolate chips on top of the brownie.
Next, pour the sweetened condensed milk on top and spread to cover all the toppings.
Then add the rest of the toppings! (Plus some holiday sprinkles!) Bake for another 23-27 minutes.
Finally, let the magic bars cool and slice into squares. You can also slice off the edges too! Enjoy!

Can I use a brownie mix instead of a homemade brownie for Brownie Magic Bars?
Yes! You can totally use a box of brownie mix! The biggest thing you will have to adjust is how long to bake your brownie for before you add the toppings. ‘
Most brownie mixes will create thinner brownies in a 9×13 pan so it might not need as much time to bake.
What are magic bars made of?
These Homemade Christmas Magic Bars are packed with amazing flavors like chocolate, coconut, marshmallows, and sweetened condensed milk!

The great thing about these M&M Magic Bars is that they are very versatile and you can customize the recipe to fit the flavor and holiday you’re wanting!
Switch out the Christmas M&Ms for red, white, and blue M&Ms for the 4th of July! Or add some Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups and graham crackers for a yummy s’mores magic bar! So many options!
Why are they called magic cookie bars?
Magic Bars have been a popular treat for quite a while. Back in 1964, a popular sweetened condensed milk brand published a recipe for “Magic Bars” on the back of their condensed milk cans.
The “magic” in these bars got its name from how simple and easy they are to make. Mix it all together, bake, and the results are truly magical!
Why do my magic bars fall apart?
When making these Easy Brownie Magic Bars, make sure to let them cool COMPLETELY before slicing them into bars.
If you cut into the Christmas M&M Magic Bars too soon, the layers will not have set and they will fall apart as you cut them.
After they’ve cooled and been sliced, you can store them on the counter for 2-3 days. (If they last that long!)
