Magic Cookie Bar PIE with M&Ms (everything is better with M&Ms)!

A traditional Magic Cookie Bar (or 7-Layer Bar or Hello Dolly Bar) has a thick, buttery graham cracker crust. On top of that are layers of pecans, coconut, chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, and ooey, gooey sweetened condensed milk which gets all caramel-y during baking and magically binds everything together.

This pie is an upgraded version of that recipe in a few ways:

Chocolate Cookie Crust. CHOCOLATE COOKIE CRUST. Do we really need any other words here??

I love the crust switch up in this pie from the traditional graham crackers to chocolate sandwich cookies. It adds a depth of flavor (more chocolate!) and a crispier texture which pairs well with the soft filling.

M&M‘S. A few years ago I made these Monster Magic Cookie Bars, and (despite the horrible photography) they exploded on Pinterest. That was the first time I added M&MS to this recipe, and I never looked back. M&MS make everything better, and Magic Cookie Bars are no exception. If you’re looking for more yummy M&M’S recipes, check out their new Pinterest page!

PIE. You guys, it’s a pie! A huge, deep dish, fully loaded, in your face pie. If that’s not an improvement on the original bars, then I don’t know what is.

So here’s the lowdown on how to make this pie that will have your holiday party peeps jumping for joy this season:

  • First. Make the crust by crushing the cookies and mixing with a little butter. Having a great food processor is really handy for this part, but it’s not a necessity. You could also just smash the cookies in a ziptop bag.
  • Then start layering! Cover up that crust with butterscotch chips, chocolate, chips, coconut, pecans, and M&Ms!
  • Pour the sweetened condensed milk over top. Mmmmmm. Be sure to lick your fingers.
  • Bake it up and then let it cool. This is the hardest part– waiting for it to cool! But you want to wait, TRUST ME. Otherwise, it’s impossible to cut, and you’ll be left with an ooey, gooey mess. Albeit a delicious mess.

Voila. You’ve just made a pie so good, people will cry. In a good way, of course.
