Nutella Hazelnut Magic Bars

These are not your average magic bars. They have chrispity bits of toffee, big hunks of toasted hazelnuts and creamy, dreamy nutella running through them. Now it THAT"S not magic, I don't know what is!

Nutella Hazelnut Magic Bars

These bars have also been called Hello Dollies, 5 Layer Bars, and 7 Layer Bars. I have even made a

White Chocolate Cranberry Coconut  version of them. You really can't go wrong with any combination of you favorite ingredients. Here is what I used this go around:

These are so easy to put together and it only takes a few minutes to get perfection like this:

I have had troubles in the past with the crust not staying together very well and becoming a little crumbly, but I have perfected the buttery graham cracker crust this time! 

Nutella Hazelnut Magic Bars

    adapted from white chocolate cranberry coconut bars   
    makes 24

1 1/2 C graham cracker crumbs {1 1/2 sleeves of graham crackers}*

1/2 C {1 stick} melted butter

1/2 C Nutella

3/4 C chocolate chips

1 C toffee chips

1/2 C toasted hazelnuts, chopped

1 C shredded coconut

1 14 oz can sweetened condensed milk

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. 

* Put 1 1/2 sleeves of graham crackers in a food processor {do not use store bought graham cracker crumbs. I have tried them and the crust just does not hold together as well.}.

Blend until the crumbs are small and everything is the same size.{You could also do this in small batches in a Magic Bullet}.

In a large bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs with the melted butter and stir.

Next, pour the graham cracker mixture into a 9X13 dish and use your fingers to press it out evenly into the crust around the dish.

Now for my favorite part! Slather the crust with the nutella and carefully spread it across the whole crust.

Layer on the chopped hazelnuts, chocolate chips, and toffee chips.

Lastly, layer on the shredded coconut, then evenly pour the sweetened condensed milk across the whole dish.

Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top becomes slightly golden brown. Let cool, and cut into bars. 

I made these extra hazelnutty by using nutella and chopped hazelnuts. My favorite thing about these kind of bars is that you can swap out anything to make them your own. Other great options are peanuts, pretzels, pecans, walnuts, macadamia nuts, peanut butter chips, white chocolate chips, dried fruit, butter pecan chips, candies, or caramel. You really can't go wrong!

Unless you don't share with me. Now THAT would be wrong!
