Salted Caramel Magic Bars
This post may contain affiliate links.
I have a thing for Magic Bars or Seven Layer Bars as they’re sometimes called.
These aren’t technically seven layer bars because I fell short after six layers but you could easily add nuts or chopped candy bars for that seventh layer.
I made the bars with Werther’s Original Soft Caramels in honor of National Caramel Day which is April 5. The caramels are soft, rich, and creamy and I melted them and added salt because salted caramel is my thing. Salted caramel helps balance the sweetness of the other ingredients.
In honor of National Caramel Day, Werther’s Original will distribute 1 million pieces of rich, creamy caramel. Candy lovers in the New York City area will have the chance to see Werther’s giant 6-foot-diameter candy bowl near Times Square. Caramel lovers nationwide can also get in on the experience by guessing the number of candies in the Times Square giant bowl and sharing on Facebook, Instagram or Twitter with the hashtag #ShareYourWerthers for a chance to win exclusive giveaways.
A buttery graham cracker crust is topped with chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, coconut, salted caramel sauce, and sweetened condensed milk.
It’s a fast, easy, no-mixer recipe that’s as easy as layering ingredients in a pan.
The graham cracker crust is slightly crunchy, the coconut adds chewiness, and the chocolate and butterscotch chips give you something to sink your teeth into.
As the bars bake the sweetened condensed milk takes on caramel undertones and boosts the flavor of the salted caramel sauce even more.

yayyy! and YUM! love the sweet and salty and ever so gooooeyness!
Thanks for all the sweet comments tonight! :)
Werther’s are so good. I can’t wait to try this; it looks amazing! The coconut peanut butter magic cake bars are calling my name though. I might have to try both at the same time. Too many options! :)
Werther’s Caramels are my favorite candy! I love these bars!
They all look so good, it’s hard to pick which one to make first!! THANKS Averie
I think I could live on magic bars. And I could drink salted caramel with a straw!! I suddenly have the urge to run out and by those candies…
I want salted caramel on everything! Bring on the straws :)
I love sweetened condensed milk so these bars and all bars made with it are the bomb. Its just so yummy. I’ve never had the werthers candies I’ll have to try them out.
Sweetened condensed milk is amazing stuff, isn’t it! And you will love the candies!
I didn’t realize how many variations of these you have made–and they all look delicious! Salted caramel sounds excellent with the chips and coconut. These cover everything–sweet, a little rich, texture and multiple flavors!
I didn’t realize either until this post when I started compiling things from my archives :) And yes the bars covered everything from texture to flavor!
Yum,yum, yum! Magic bars are always a special treat. I don’t hardly ever make them so they are always a first grab for me when at an event. Yours are absolutely gorgeous!
Thank you! :)
