Magic Cookie Bars (Gluten-free, vegan)

These Magic Cookie bars are rich, delicious bites of heaven! The marriage of a
cookie base, gooey caramel, toasty coconut, and chocolate chips will bring a
flavor explosion to your tastebuds! These paleo magic cookie bars are a take on
classic 7 Layer Bars, but made gluten-free, dairy-free and vegan, and refined
sugar-free.

Instructions

1 Add the coconut milk, maple, coconut sugar, vanilla, and sea salt to a small,
deep pan over medium heat. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring often. Lower
heat to simmer and continue cooking until the mixture has reduced by half, being
sure to stir often to prevent burning – this can take around 30 minutes,
sometimes longer.
2 When it's done, it should resemble sweetened condensed milk/caramel sauce and
will have darkened in color. Remove from heat. You should end up with a little
over a cup.
3 Preheat oven to 350. Combine all of the cookie base ingredients in a large
mixing bowl, combining until dough forms. Line an 8×8 baking dish with parchment
paper and spread the dough in the bottom evenly. Bake for 14 minutes until
lightly golden around the edges.
4 Remove the pan from the oven. Add the coconut, chopped nuts, and chocolate
chips. Then carefully pour the coconut caramel/condensed milk evenly over top (I
like to slowly drizzle it all over the top to make sure it's pretty even).
5 Return to the oven for 22-25 minutes, until lightly browned. Remove from the
oven. Chill in the refrigerator for an hour or two until completely firm, before
cutting them into bars.
6 *Store in an air-tight container in the fridge for 1 week or in the freezer for
up to two months. I prefer these straight from the freezer!
