Ingredients for Eagle Brand Magic Cookie Bars:

- 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
- 2 cups semisweet chocolate morsels
- 1 1/3 cups flaked coconut
- 1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
Directions:
- Prepare the Pan:

- Gently press the layers down with a fork to secure them into the condensed milk.
- Bake:
