Kindness and Magic Bars

"All you need is love.  But a little chocolate now and then doesn't hurt."
~ Charles M. Schulz

For years, one of my favorite desserts has been something that seems to pop up at holiday time.  Some people call it Magic Bar; others call it Seven-Layer Cookie.  Whatever the name, this delicious concoction has a graham cracker crust and then layers that include condensed milk, chocolate chips and shredded coconut.  Cooked brownie-style in a pan, it is then cut up into small squares or rectangles.

To my delight, Magic Bars were one of the desserts at a holiday party I recently attended.  I mentioned to one of the servers how much I enjoy them -- although she easily could have figured that out based on how many I ate.  To my surprise, as I was leaving, the caterer told me to wait and then handed me a sizable slab of un-cut Magic Bars.  I felt I had just been handed a gold bar!
