Preheat oven to 350°F degrees. Spray a 9×13 inch baking pan with cooking spray and line it with parchment paper and set aside.

Place the graham cracker slabs in a zip-lock bag and using a rolling pin crush them into fine crumbs. You can also do this in a food processor.

In a bowl, add the chocolate chips (semi-sweet, white, butterscotch), chopped nuts (walnuts, cashews, almonds), and sweetened shredded coconut. Mix well. Keep aside.

In a mixing bowl, add the graham cracker crumbs, and flax-seed meal.

Pour the melted butter over and mix until well combined. The crumbs should hold shape when pressed together.

Transfer to a lined baking pan and spread evenly. Press firmly to the bottom of the pan using a spatula or the back of a measuring cup.

Pour the sweetened condensed milk evenly over the pressed crumb crust.

Sprinkle the coconut, nuts, and chocolate chips mixture evenly over the condensed milk and press down firmly with the back of the measuring cup.

Bake for 25 - 30 mins or until edges are golden brown.

Cool completely in the pan. Lift the entire slab holding the parchment paper and place it on a cutting board. Cut into squares of the desired length. I usually cut it into 24 small squares.

Serve these delicious Magic cookie bars as a dessert or snack with milk, tea or coffee!
