Many of you know these outrageously delicious bars as Magic Bars or Hello Dolly’s. I’m calling them, “Magical Bars” because they are just that! In fact, they’re probably the best bars ever created, even this skinny version is pretty amazing. Super rich and decadent and just six ingredients layered right in the pan. They’re a whole lot skinnier because I’m using reduced-fat butter, fat-free sweetened condensed milk, and a lot less chocolate, nuts, and coconut. Each delectable bar has 133 calories, 6 grams of fat. These freeze great too!
Ingredients
- ¼ cup reduced-fat butter
- 1¼ cup graham cracker crumbs
- ½ cup flaked coconut (sweetened)
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 (14 oz) can fat-free sweetened condensed milk
- ½ cup chopped walnuts
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- In a 13 x 9 baking pan, generously coat all sides with cooking spray with flour in it. I used Pam cooking spray with flour in it. If you don’t have it, coat with cooking spray and sprinkle bottom and sides with a little flour. Add butter and place in the oven to melt. This will take no more than a minute or two.
- Sprinkle the graham cracker crumbs evenly over the top of the butter and pat down a little. Do not mix.
- Sprinkle the coconut evenly over the crumbs.
- Sprinkle the chocolate chips evenly over the coconut.
- Drizzle the sweetened condensed milk evenly over the chips. To make the milk easier to drizzle, place the can in a bowl of hot water for a few minutes.
- Top with the nuts.
- Bake for about 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
- Cut into 24 squares while still somewhat hot. If you let them cool they become very difficult to cut!

Food Facts
Sweetened condensed milk is what binds all of the ingredients together in these Magical Bars. It’s normally made from a mixture of whole milk and sugar that has about 60% of its water removed. Its consistency is thick and sticky like honey and is very sweet tasting. I’m using a fat-free version made with nonfat milk.
Shopping Tip
You’ll find graham cracker crumbs in a box in the baking section of most supermarkets.

I think I might have missed something. I was wondering why when I look at the recipes it doesn’t have the purple points included. Thank you
Actually Debbie, I’m so sorry but at this point, I’m only including Blue and Green points. For all of these years, I’ve used a different program than WW to input all of my recipes to do the nutrition facts and points
I have hundreds of recipes and don’t have the time to input them into WW to make the calculations for the purple plan. Maybe in the future.
My best,
Nancy
