Description

Rhubarb Magic Bars feature a tangy rhubarb layer, sweetened condensed milk, white chocolate, coconut, and a buttery graham cracker crust. A perfect balance of flavors and textures in a simple, indulgent dessert.


Ingredients

1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs

1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

1 cup chopped fresh rhubarb

1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk

1 cup white chocolate chips

1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

1 cup shredded sweetened coconut


Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×13-inch baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
  2. In a bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan to form a crust.
  3. Evenly spread the chopped rhubarb over the crust, ensuring it’s distributed evenly.
  4. Drizzle the sweetened condensed milk over the rhubarb layer, making sure it covers the fruit.
  5. Sprinkle the white chocolate chips and walnuts (if using) evenly over the top of the bars.
  6. Finish by adding a generous layer of shredded coconut to cover the entire surface.
  7. Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the center is set.
  8. Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan before cutting into 16 portions.

Notes

If you prefer a richer flavor, substitute the white chocolate chips with semi-sweet chocolate chips.

For a nut-free version, leave out the walnuts.

To make a vegan version, use coconut milk or a dairy-free condensed milk substitute and non-dairy butter.

Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week. These bars can be frozen for up to 3 months.
