Nani's Magic Cookie Bars
These bars are a classic treat layered with sweetness that disappears as fast as you can bake them.
recipesbynani.comEveryone in my family loves these bars because they are so simple to put together. You just layer all the good things right in the pan and let the oven do the hard work for you.
They have a wonderful chewy texture from the oats and a rich buttery crust. I like to make these for potlucks because they are always the first thing to go.

- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
