YUM! I did make a few changes however. I took others' advice and mixed the butter and graham cracker crumbs and pressed it to the bottom of the dish. To avoid it from sticking I sprayed the bottom with Pam! I also substituted Heath bar pieces for the choc. chips and almonds for walnuts! Deliscious!!! I cooled it for a little longer and they cut and came out in bars, not a mess!

These are terrific! I love trying new recipes and I take the outcome to work for everyone to judge - I work for a large car dealership - and everyone loves these1 I originally made these because I always have chocolate chips (I purchase them in bulk) but I didn't have the other chips called for in layered bars, so I made these. What a great find! Make these - you won't be sorry.

These were okay. I added butterscotch chips on top before pouring the chocolate peanut butter mixture. People said they liked them but i wasn't blown away. I probably won't make them again.

I would rate them a 4.5. Very good, quick and easy. The only thing I would change would be too add more graham cracker crumbs. The crust was very buttery. Maybe 2 cups or a little more. I would also mix them in a bowl first and then press them into the pan. They were very tasty and I got lots of compliments on them.

This is a typical Magic Cookie Bar type of cookie with the variation of using peanut butter instead of chopped nuts. Made the recipe as given, but I added the coconut garnish immediately after spreading the chocolate/peanut butter mixture, so it would stick better after the bars cooled. Used a 7 oz. coconut package in the layer and about 3 to 4 oz. for the garnish. Placed it in the fridge to shorten the cooling time. Had no trouble cutting or removing the bars from the pan. Bars are sweet but very tasty. Nice variation of the standard magic cookie bar recipe.

I loved the fact that this recipe was so easy and fun to make, but my family and I didn't like the end result as much as we'd hoped. First, we thought the crust was greasy. (I think I'd forego the butter next time and try mixing the peanut butter with the milk and pour that over the graham cracker crumbs, bake, and then spread the chocolate chips on top.) Others commented on this treat being almost too rich. Maybe if there was more of the salty peanut butter flavor to offset the sweetness, it would work better. In the end, I prefer peanut butter fingers.

SO DECADENT! It's sweet, chewy, and delicious, but you can't have too much at once because it's just SO HEAVY. I love it because it's not your average, boring cookie. TIP: one wrapped package of graham crackers (one box usually contains 2 wrapped packages) yields exactly 1.5 cups when crushed into crumbs!

These took all of five minutes to prepare. My coworkers raved, but these were a little sweet for my taste. I chopped up some frozen Reese's cups for some of the chips, which worked well.

These were so good, everyone asked for the recipe. However, I used a slightly larger pan so they were thinner, and I can image that helped in the sickeningly sweet department. My friends and family suggested I try to sell these bars they loved them so much. Don't worry, if I did sell them, I would credit Allrecipes.

These were quite easy to make and my daughter really enjoyed spreading the coconut on. I'm sure they will be a hit at the picnic we made them for. Thanks for a great recipe. These were yummy!

Being in the uk i used Mc Vitie's digestive biscuits in place of the graham cracker crumbs and added a small amount of cinnamon to it and it worked fine.I also uesd 2 cans of condensed milk as 1 didn't seem to cover over the whole of the biscuit and coconut base and 2 covered it perfect.I baked it for 30 minutes poured the topping on and left it to cool down for 2 1/2 hours and then i put it in the fridge for another hour.My kids absolutely loved these cookie bars and so did my mum.Thank you for a quick easy yummy recipe
