Over the holidays Miss Add and I visited Memaw and Papaw for a few days and one night Memaw and Miss Add made everyone Crock Pot Magic Bars.
Growing up mom would make the oven version of Magic Bars as a special treat all the time. (If you are looking for an oven version, here is one we did from Gooseberry Patch’s Sweet &Simple). But we never tried them in the crock pot until just recently. I guess Memaw and Miss Add were just too tempted with Mommy’s Casserole Crock Pot just sitting there begging to be used ;).

The results were fantastic. They set up nicely and once cooled, cut right out of the pan so easily that I may never make them in the oven again. In fact, when I needed to whip up another batch for this post (and Mikey’s co-workers 😉 ), I even used my 6 qt Cuisinart Crock instead of the casserole crock and they did just as well.
Ingredients for Crock Pot Magic Bars
1 1/3 Cup crushed Graham Crackers
1 Stick Butter – Melted
1 Can Sweetened Condensed Milk
2 Cups Baking Morsels/Chips (flavor of your choice– I used 1 part chocolate 1 part white chocolate and 1 part butterscotch), total
How to Make Magic Bars in a Slow Cooker
Mix crushed graham crackers with melted butter and press into the bottom of your crock pot.
Pour milk over top of the graham cracker crust.
Layer remaining ingredients.
Cook on high for 1-2 hours, until set and edges are golden.
Cool completely and cut into bars.
Crock Pot Magic Bars Recipe Notes
- I have made this slow cooker several times and have used my 6 qt Cuisinart Crock and casserole crock and they both turned out great!
- This recipe is not a “set and forget” recipe until you know how long it will take in your slow cooker.
- You can substitute any flavor chip for your favorites. My personal favorite is a third milk chocolate, a third white chocolate and a third butterscotch.
- I used the pre-crushed graham cracker crumbs for convenience. But you can crush your own if you’d like
- The recipe is done when the edges begin to golden and the condensed milk is set or no longer liquid. If you slide a spatula along the edge, it should easily pull away from the edge.
- You may have melted butter rise to the top while cooking. Don’t worry… this is normal. Let your bars cool completely before cutting and the butter will cool back into the bars.
- Do NOT cut the bars while hot. Let them cool completely before serving.
- As with any of our recipes, calorie counts and nutritional information varies greatly depending on which products you choose to use when cooking this dish.
- All slow cookers cook differently, so cooking times are always a basic guideline and should always be tested first in your own slow cooker and time adjusted as needed.
