Ingredients
  

1 cup graham cracker crumbs

1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1 cup sweetened shredded coconut

1 cup dark chocolate chips

1 cup dried cranberries

1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon sea salt

1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

    Prepare the Crust: In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Mix until well combined. Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan to form a crust.

      Layer Ingredients: Sprinkle the shredded coconut evenly over the crust, followed by the dark chocolate chips and dried cranberries. If you’re using nuts, sprinkle them on top as well.

        Mix the Topping: In a small bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and sea salt. Pour this mixture over the layered ingredients in the pan, making sure to cover as much of the surface as possible.

          Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes until the edges are golden brown and the center is set.

            Cool & Cut: Remove the pan from the oven and let it cool completely at room temperature. Once cooled, cut into squares or bars.

              Serve: Enjoy your Dark Chocolate Cranberry Magic Bars as a delightful treat! Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
