Candy Corn Magic Bars Recipe
These Magic Cookie Bars will make you feel like you’re about to go trick or treating! Not only are they delicious on their own, but the addition of candy corn makes these magic bars the perfect spooky treat. These are like Hello Dolly bars or 7 layer bars – perfect for this time of year. I love adding extra candy corn to Halloween treats, like Rice Krispie treats or cookies! Calling all candy corn lovers – this recipe is for you.
Ingredients Needed
- Graham Crackers: These will be crushed to make the crust.
- Chocolate Chips: I use peanut butter chips and white chocolate chips
- Candy Corn: Be sure to use new candy corn for the best results.
- Coconut Flakes: Adds an extra flavor and texture.
- Butter: I use unsweetened & melted butter (salted may be substituted)
- Sweetened Condensed Milk: These create the magic in magic bars.
Variations
- Instead of peanut butter, use butterscotch chips
- Instead of white chocolate, use semi-sweet chocolate chips
- You can reduce the amount of chips and add Reese’s Pieces or your favorite flavor m&m.
How to Make Magic Bars
- Mix graham cracker crumbs with melted butter and press into the bottom of a prepared 9×13-inch pan.
- Sprinkle white chocolate chips, peanut butter chips, coconut, and candy corn over the top.
- Pour sweetened condensed milk evenly over the top of the bars.
- Bake until they get golden around the edges. Cool completely before slicing into bars.
Expert Tips
- Make sure to let these halloween magic bars fully cool before serving and enjoying.
- You can store these bars at room temperature or in the fridge. I’ve also frozen these in an airtight container.

If you are a sprinkle lover like me, then you’ll love these Sprinkle Cookies! Soft and chewy sugar cookies filled with crunchy rainbow sprinkles – these are such a classic. Buttery and perfectly sweet, you can make them with any color sprinkles for any occasion.
Best Sprinkle Cookies Recipe Ever
Other than my chocolate chip cookies or classic sugar cookies, sprinkle cookies are probably my favorite cookie recipe ever. You’re going to love these because they have that classic sugar cookie flavor with a soft and crunchy texture, no chill time, done in under 30 minutes and these cookies are easy to customize based on season, holiday, and occasion with your favorite color sprinkles. It’s the perfect cookie recipe!
Ingredients Needed
- Unsalted butter: If you are making this recipe dairy-free then use butter flavored Crisco vegetable shortening instead of butter.
- Sugar: Granulated sugar is the only sugar you need for this recipe!
- Eggs: I always use large eggs.
- Vanilla Extract: Using natural extracts always yield the best results when it comes to flavor!
- Baking Soda: Helps them spread a little bit but not too much (do not use baking powder)
- Cream of Tartar: This keeps them fluffy and soft.
- Salt: Needed when using unsalted butter!
- Flour: Use all-purpose flour and be sure to measure it correctly.
- Sprinkles: You can use an color you’d like! These are a versatile cookie so you can use them for any holiday and use some fun themed sprinkles.
How to Make Sprinkle Cookies
- Whisk dry ingredients (flour, baking soda, cream of tartar, and salt) in a medium bowl.
- Cream butter and sugar until fluffy (about 2-3 minutes with an electric mixer).
- Mix in eggs and vanilla then mix the flour mixture into the wet ingredients.
- Add jimmies sprinkles (the best kind for baking) in any color.
- Use a cookie scoop to scoop cookie dough balls and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or silicone mats. No chilling needed – you can bake these immediately.
Variations & Substitutions
- You can substitute Vegan Butter Sticks (not tub butter) for the unsalted butter.
- Use any color sprinkles – Christmas sprinkles make a perfect Christmas cookie.
- Add other extract flavors (about 1/2 tsp), like almond extract or use cake batter extract to make them taste like birthday cake cookies.
Expert Tip
- Use Jimmies sprinkles opposed to other types like nonpareils. Jimmies stay in tact better when baking in the oven (nonpareils tend to melt).
- Sprinkle cookies are done baking when they just lose their glossy sheen and are light golden around the edges.
Storage & Freezing
Store baked cookies in an airtight container – they’ll keep for several days. Place the container in the freezer to freeze cookies for several months.
To make the cookies ahead of time, you can freeze the cookie dough balls (thaw before baking) or store the cookie dough balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days before baking, but bake at room temp.
FAQs
How do you know when these cookies are done baking?
You will know the cookies are done baking when the bottom edges are ever so slightly brown. And the top still looks semi-soft. If the top starts to get brown then they are becoming over-done.

- Scoop balls of cookie dough (2 Tablespoons each), and place them 2-inches apart on the prepared cookie sheets. Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until the bottoms just start to turn golden brown.

Best Lemon Bread Recipe
This lemon bread is a quick bread recipe, meaning it is bread made without yeast. It’s not quite bread, but not quite cake – somewhere perfectly in the middle! With a super moist texture, it has a perfect lemon flavor throughout every bite! There are lemon zest and lemon extract and there is a simple lemon glaze!
One of the things I love the most is lemon! I can never get enough lemon in dessert or breakfast foods. Lemon muffins, lemon pie, lemon cookies…you name it I LOVE IT and so do you all! When you feel like lemon loaf but you want it for breakfast, it’s time to make my EASY Lemon Bread recipe.
Lemon Quick Bread Ingredients
- Flour: I always use all-purpose flour. Be sure to measure it correctly!
- Baking Powder: This helps the bread rise.
- Evaporated Milk: Be sure to buy evaporated, not sweetened condensed. It comes in a can in the baking aisle. It adds a richer flavor and some fat to the bread, making it nice and moist.
- Oil: Vegetable oil or canola oil
- Lemon Zest: This is where all the flavor is! Don’t skip it. Learn how to zest a lemon! A tablespoon of grated lemon adds so much flavor.
- Lemon Extract: Always buy PURE extracts. The lemon extract pumps up the lemon flavor of this bread.
- Powdered Sugar + Lemon Juice: You need these for the glaze. Be sure to use fresh lemon juice!
How to make Lemon Bread
- Whisk together all purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and granulated sugar.
2. Whisk together evaporated milk, lemon zest, lemon extract, oil, and eggs. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients in a large bowl. Stir until combined.
3. Add to an 8×4-inch loaf pan. Bake until a toothpick comes out with just a few crumbs.
4. To make the icing, whisk powdered sugar and lemon juice and pour over the bread. This bread tastes like sunshine!
Expert Tips
- Make Glazed Lemon Bread by whisking powdered sugar with lemon juice for an delicious topping.
- If you want your bread to be really lemony, don’t skip the lemon extract.
- Don’t over bake this – when a toothpick comes out with just a few crumbs in the center, it’s done.
- You can also bake this in 3 mini loaf pans. Bake time will be about half.
- Turn this into lemon blueberry bread by adding fresh berries.
- Make it gluten free by using 1:1 gluten-free flour.
FAQs
How to store quick bread – can you freeze it?
Store covered on the counter in an airtight container or freeze it for up to 3 months. Wrap the whole loaf in plastic or place slices in sandwich bags and seal, then place in freezer. Remove to counter to thaw.
