    Make these 7 layer magic bars in a pinch. A quick snack or dessert with just a few ingredients and 30 minutes’ time.

    Do you love 7 layer bars, dream bars, magic bars, or whatever you call them? Are you gluten intolerant?

    Well, sometimes you need to take the flavors or desserts you like and rework them to your liking. You will love these 7 layer gluten-free magic bars. You can also try some of my other desserts on my easy recipe desserts page.

    What makes this dessert special

    These Magic Bars can be adapted to fit your dietary needs. These are gluten-free but you can use regular graham crackers. You can make them with a cookie base also. You can remove the nuts and add more chocolate chips or coconut flakes. You can also use sugar-free chips. You can also exchange the sweetened condensed milk for Coconut Sweetened Condensed Milk which is dairy-free.

    These are the ultimate in flavor to include sweet and salty. Unfortunately, they do pack a lot of calories and sugar. But sometimes we need to indulge. And the best part is you can make them in about 30 minutes.

     

    Have you ever ran out of an important ingredient while baking?
