Samoa Magic Bars
But I guess no matter where I move to, there will always be access to Samoas, aka one of my fave cookies of all time. Who doesn’t enjoy that crispy, nutty toasted coconut, the smooth, chewy caramel, the soft, milky chocolate and that crunch from the cookie embedded underneath? I know I can’t.

Red Velvet Cookie and Cream Magic Bars
I’m not against box mixes but I’ve always imagined the ‘cool chavy kids’ would never bake from scratch. Not that I’ve ever noticed one of these peeps within half a mile radius of the baking aisle! But if I did, I’d be betting my life they were heading there for the ready make pancakes (hello… eggs, flour and milk!) and box mixes.
Get Recipe
Smoreo Seven Layer Bars
Since I loved the way the Gingerbread Oreo 7-Layer Bars turned out, I decided to create a similar bars recipe but without the seasonal flavors. A traditional S'mOreo is 4 layers: one Oreo half, a toasted marshmallow, a chocolate bar, and a second Oreo half. We're adding three more layers here: semi-sweet chocolate, white chocolate, and sweetened condensed milk.

  1. I am a fool for 7 layer bar anything 🙂 So many ideas and inspiration here, Dorothy! I’m loving it. Thanks for linking to my snickers bars 🙂

  2. What an amazing list of amazing desserts! Though I haven’t had a 7 layer bar YET (I know it sounds like I have been living under a rock), I plan to remedy that soon. So many choices! Thanks, Dorothy.

  3. I love seven layer bars!! Though, I guess mine don’t always have seven layers, so maybe they don’t count 😉 But, when you combine several layers of yumminess, how could you go wrong!?

  4. Holy YUM. You know how I feel about seven layer bars 🙂 🙂 I could profess my love for them on the daily and proooobably write like, seventeen cookbooks exclusively on them. Thanks for including some linky love! I now want to drink a can of condensed milk.

  5. What a great way to end the week with all these delicious tasty treats! Great recipe round -up Dorothy and Happy Friday! 🙂

  6. Holy magicness! I want to inhale each and every one of these. I’m drooling like a starved lion! I wish I had about 80 cans of condensed milk in right now – I’d try each and every one!

    Thanks for including my magic bars in your post too, but the credit goes to Hayley for those bad boys. 🙂

  7. I probably shouldn’t admit this but I still have never had a Seven Layer Magic Bar! Obviously I have enough options to choose from now!
