Easy Fall 7 Layer Bars
Whenever I find a great formula for something I repeat it, especially on this website.
I posted gooey bars. You all love gooey bars…so I made more.
I posted chocolate chip cookies that you all continue to devour…so I made more.
Over the years I’ve posted several recipes for magic bars. Again, it turns out you guys like magic bars; they’re consistently in my top search items that get you here. So…I made you more magic bars: in pumpkin flavor.
What is a magic bar?
Magic bars are also called 7 layer bars or Magic Cookie Bars. They originated, I think, on the Eagle Brand website (Eagle makes sweetened condensed milk).
Seven layer bars are a throwback recipe and one of my favorite things to do is change them up to fit my mood.
I prefer calling these Magic Bars instead of 7 layer bars because they don’t always have 7 layers, at least in the recipes I’ve seen around the internet.
Important Ingredients
- Gingersnap Crust – pumpkin and gingersnaps go SO WELL together!
- White chocolate chips – again, pumpkin and white chocolate are paired together frequently. They’re BFFS!
- Pecans – you could also use walnuts.
- Coconut – coconut is always optional but adds some nice flavor.
- Toffee Bits – they add crunch and toasty flavor.
- Pumpkin – obviously! The pumpkin in these 7 layer bars is mixed with #7…
- Sweetened Condensed Milk – what brings it all together.

Expert Tips
- If you make 7 layer bars and they’re too gooey, it’s probably because they’re not cooled properly. Try chilling them before slicing!
- It’s important to let these cool completely before you try and slice them!
