Magic: Possessing distinctive qualities that produce unaccountable or baffling effects

The ability for a pie to exist one minute and be gone the next, that seems like magic to me.

The ability for a dessert to call your name and whisper sweet words into your ear, I’d call that magic.

The ability for a dessert to sit on your counter one day and your butt the next, yes magic.

All of those elements make this cookie bar turned pie magic.

I’ll be honest, I only like my version of magic bars. No coconut, no nuts, just gooey, chocolaty, chewy and delicious.  And so in my Magic Pie, that is what you get: graham cracker crust and a sweet oozing filling made up of dark chocolate, milk chocolate and toffee.  Don’t tell me this doesn’t pull at your sweet tooth for an extra slice bite.  I made this pie at about 3pm one afternoon… by midnight it was gone.  And here is a little secret, Matt thought it was too sweet.

Next time I’m going to sprinkle pretzel pieces on top immediately after baking to add a salty crunch to the pie The Edy’s slow churned Caramel Delight ice cream was the perfect complement to this pie

I’ll let you in on a secret- I didn’t like the crust (that’s what I get for using a healthier pre-made) so I left that behind and ate all some of the filling.  Have you ever picked out the parts of a dessert you like and gotten rid of the rest?
