Crock Pot Magic Bars
The idea for this idea came from our favoriteFix-It and Forget-It Cookbook but Barbara modified it using our mom’s recipe.
Our Mom makes Seven Layer Bars (also called Magic Bars) every Christmas. It’s just one of the many Christmas cookies she makes.
When we say many, think at least a dozen different types of cookies including Dainty Logs, Three Layer Chocolate Squares, Chocolate Nut Cookies, French Buttercreams and Granny’s Sugar Cookies.
A great thing about most of the cookies Mom makes is that they all freeze really well. As you can probably guess, Mom has to start baking weeks before the holidays to be able to make all the different cookies so she’s mastered the art of freezing cookies over the years!

If you haven’t guessed, these are called 7 layer bars because there’s only seven ingredients but each one is layered on top of one another for the ultimate crock pot cookie bar.
