    I've heard these be called Magic Seven Bars, Magic Bars, Seven Layer Bars, even All Saints Slice! I am going for Magic Seven Layer Bars because, well because I can! If you don't know what these are they are bars. With seven layers.... Traditionally a crushed biscuit base, melted butter, chocolate, coconut, nuts, fruit all topped with condensed milk and baked to a sweet and sticky, delicious slice.

    These magic seven layer bars are "technically" six layers not seven. I don't include fruit in my recipe because in my opinion, they ruin it so instead I used two types of nuts so in some ways it is still seven layers..... In a way.....

    If you want to add dried apricots or some other dried fruit then reduced the amount of nuts and add those instead.

    For the base I used malt biscuits as I find they give a lovely, rich, flavour to the these bars. The butter holds the base together but adds to the richness. This richness pairs with the sweetness of the chocolate and coconut layers and is then balanced with the crunch from the nuts. I like to use a mixture of sliced almonds and chopped walnuts. (Macadamias and pecans would also work well here.) The condensed milk is then poured all over these before being baked until everything is all glued together. 

    These bars are a huge hit where ever I take them!

    With Christmas just around the corner these are great for family gatherings, gifts or part of the dessert on Christmas day!

      Hello, Glenys Moore asking for some advice please. When I make this recipe the malt biscuit base is always crumbly. It doesn't stick together like other biscuit and butter bases. Is it the cooking that dries it out or should the slice be put in the fridge to set. Regards, Glenys

        If you are having trouble with the base, you could increase the amount of melted butter used by 10g or store the slice in the fridge first and see if that helps with the crumbling issue.
