Magic Cookie Bar Sticks are Magic Cookie Bars which you bake in a loaf pan. They are yet another way to use a half can of condensed milk. For those in the USA, that is 7 oz/196 grams. In some places you can buy condensed milk in 7 oz packages, but that size is not easy to find here in the states.
Loaf Pan Magic Cookie Bar Sticks
The idea seems pretty obvious, but I never thought to cut them into sticks until today when I was making a small batch in a 9 ½ by 5 ½ inch loaf pan. The bars sliced so nicely (I always use a higher ratio of condensed milk than the original version and more toppings) and were so easy to work with that cutting them into sticks just seemed like the right thing to do.
Toppings
For the toppings, I used kind of a mish mash of what we had around the house including dark and butterscotch chips, a little coconut, peanuts, almonds and a crumbled Girl Scout cookie. I don't think I've ever topped Magic Cookie Bars the same way twice! My new favorite addition to the topping is coarsely chopped malted milk balls (aka Chocolate Whoppers or Maltesers).

I wish I didn't love those. I'm such a goofball. I rarely make them myself so as not to have an entire pan around but then when I have one somewhere else I think how much better they are when I make them myself. Sigh!

Wow. Looks good. I'm going to try these.

Sonya, they were really good! I froze them overnight and drizzled melted dark chocolate over them and they are now even better. This might be my new favorite way to make MCBs.

The sticks idea is great! Also, the girl scout cookie topping!!
