Dawn's Magic Cookie Bars
"This is our adaptation of the original Eagle Brand Magic Cookie Bar recipe. We have adjusted it to suit our dietary needs and personal taste preference. The original recipe calls for a graham cracker crust and pecans as part of the topping. We prefer the pecan crust instead. Enjoy!"

16-32 pieces depending on how big you like your bars!
ingredients

- 12 ounces milk chocolate chips (I use Publix brand)
directions
- In a medium bowl, place flour and chopped pecans. Pour melted butter over the top and mix well. Push crust mixture into the bottom of a 9x9 baker. (I use a Pampered Chef Square Baker and it does not stick!)

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
My passions are photography and cooking (a good combination to have a 'zaar!) I try to photograph every recipe I review. My family sometimes wishes we could just sit down to eat at night without first having to take pictures of what we are eating!
I've been cooking for a long time and recently started baking from scratch. I have been a member at 'zaar for quite a few years and my tried-and-tried recipes come mainly from my favorite chefs here. I am dabbling in OAMC and pantry cooking and do a lot of baking due to my boys' food allergies. We follow the Feingold Program, an alternative to ADHD medications. Feingold eliminates food additives such as artificial flavors and colorings, synthetic sweeteners such as Equal and the petroleum-based preservatives such as BHT, BHA and TBHQ (ewww!!) You can find more information on the Feingold program by visiting the website at http://www.feingold.org. I have become a much better cook since starting the program two years ago and have become somewhat of a food snob because of it.
I am a mom first and for-most. I also work with families who lose a child at or before birth.
