Gluten Free Magic Cookie Bars with a Chocolate Crust

Gluten Free Magic Cookie Bars made with a chocolate cookie crust. Also known as Seven Layer Bars or Hello Dollies, these bar cookies are a crowd pleaser.

Before Christmas, I promised you some Magic Cookie Bars and I just could not deliver. Every year there seems to be less time before Christmas and this year was no exception. So much to do, so little time. Throw in a couple of kids and 4 Christmas parties in 5 days and you’ve got yourself a jam packed holiday. 

I was on a mission this year to get all my holiday baking done early, that didn’t happen either. I got a few things done ahead of time but, of course, I left the rest until the day before I needed to deliver all my cookies, fudge and quick breads. Oops. Maybe one day I’ll actually stop procrastinating. Or get my sht together. Maybe..

Please tell me I’m not alone on that though!

BUT finally, here are the gluten free magic cookie bars I promised, in all their magic cookie bar glory. Better late than never, right? RIGHT.

One thing that sets these magic cookie bars apart is the crust. Instead of an all graham cracker crust, these ones are made with gluten free chocolate sandwich cookie crumbs. So. Good. If you really need to go full-classic with these, just use gluten free graham cracker crumbs instead. They just won’t be quite the same. More chocolate = mo’better.

Since it may be too late to package these up for Christmas gifts this year, bring them to your New Years parties 😉 Enjoy!
