- 1 1/2 cups fine graham cracker crumbs (For keto, try these Keto Magic Bars)
- pinch uncut stevia OR 2 tbsp pure maple syrup or sugar of choice
- if using stevia, add 2 tbsp water
- 1 1/4 cup raspberries, or berries of choice
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
- 2/3 cup full-fat shredded coconut, sweetened or unsweetened
- 1 1/4 cup full-fat canned coconut milk
- 3 tbsp oil or buttery spread, optional
*Some of the readers who made the recipe have loved the bars as-is, but a few asked how to make the crust more like traditional Magic Square crust. If you want a crust that is less soft, just include the optional 3 tbsp oil or buttery spread with the graham cracker crumbs before pressing down.Line an 8-inch square pan with parchment paper going a little up each side. Preheat oven to 350 F. In a bowl, toss the cracker crumbs with the sweetener and optional oil (and water if using stevia and no oil). Transfer evenly to the bottom of the pan. Press down. Mash the berries. Spread over top (see the video). Sprinkle on half the chocolate chips, then the coconut, then the remaining chips. Evenly pour the coconut milk over top. Place in the oven. Bake 33 minutes. Remove and let sit 15 minutes to firm up. Slice into bars, wiping the knife after each cut. (As mentioned in the post, I initially cut 12 bars but then we ended up making them into 20 bars for the party. So size is up to you!)View Nutrition Facts
