DELECTABLE PASSOVER MAGIC BARS
These bars are rich, sweet, gooey and definitely addictive. This recipe is a takeoff of our Outrageous Magical Bars. We love them so much we've converted our recipe for Passover. We're using matzo crumbs instead of graham cracker crumbs and a spread like Smart Balance to replace the reduced-fat butter. We also added dried cranberries. They require no mixing or fussing either. Just seven ingredients layered right in the pan. The skinny on these yummy bars is 162 calories, 6 grams of fat and 4 Weight Watchers POINTS. One regular bar has 356 calories and 23 grams of fat. Start a tradition this year because they'll probably become the most requested dessert to make for Passover. If you don't want to use reduced-fat butter, Smart Balance Light will taste great too.

Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- 2. Break the matzo into pieces and place in a blender. Cover and blend on high to make crumbs or start with 1ΒΌ cup matzo meal.
- 3. In a 13 x 9 baking pan, generously coat with cooking spray. Add the Smart Balance and place in the oven to melt. This will take about a minute. Remove from oven.
- 4. Sprinkle the matzo crumbs evenly over the top of the Smart Balance. Do not mix.
- 5. Sprinkle the chocolate chips evenly over the top.
- 6. Next, sprinkle the cranberries and then the walnuts. Finally sprinkle the coconut evenly over the top.
- 7. Drizzle the sweetened condensed milk evenly over the chips. To make the milk easier to drizzle, place the can in a bowl of hot water for a few minutes.
- 8. Bake for about 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
- 9. Cut into 24 squares while still somewhat hot. If you let them cool they become very difficult to cut.
MATZO MAGIC BARS
This is my Passover take on the classic Midwest potluck staple, magic bars (also known as 7-layer bars). They typically have a graham cracker crust with butterscotch chips, chocolate and nuts. To make them kosher for Passover, I'm using matzo meal for the crust combined with coconut oil to make them firm and give them a hint of coconutty flavor, and I'm including my favorite, peanut butter chips, and rainbow chips for a pop of color. Dried fruits add bits of brightness, and sweetened condensed coconut milk brings everything together into a deliciously chewy bite.

Steps:
- Place an oven rack in the middle position. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Grease the bottom and sides of a 9-inch square baking pan with cooking spray. Line the pan with a strip of parchment paper to overhang on two sides by 2 inches.
- In the prepared baking pan, add the matzo meal, sugar, and salt. Pour the coconut oil over the matzo mixture and gently stir to combine. Then, using a spatula or the flat bottom of a glass or dry measuring cup, pat down the matzo into an even layer to form a crust.
- Top with the dried cherries in an even layer, then top with a layer of your preferred dairy-free chocolate, peanut butter and/or vegan rainbow chips. Sprinkle on the pistachios and coconut flakes. Open the can of condensed coconut milk, pour in the vanilla and stir gently to combine. Pour the condensed coconut milk evenly over the bars.
- Bake until the coconut is toasted and golden all over and the bars are set, 25 to 30 minutes. Garnish with the sprinkles and cool completely in the pan. Chill in the fridge for at least 1 hour before cutting into 16 bars. Store in the refrigerator in an airtight container.
