Nutella Magic Bars – Quick and easy bars loaded with Nutella, hazelnuts and chocolate chips! These bars will disappear quickly!
I grew up having traditional Magic Bars that my grandma made that were loaded with coconut, chocolate chips and butterscotch. They are a classic and so good! I modified them a little for these Christmas Magic Cookie Bars that are also a big hit.
But today we are going crazy with Nutella and hazelnuts. If you are a fan of Nutella, these are a must for you.
Why You’ll Love This Recipe
- Very similar to the classic version you really just add the ingredients to the baking pan and layer everything together. Super simple and easy to make.
- Not a huge fan of the store bought Nutella? Make your own Homemade Nutella and know exactly what it is in, and control the sugar.
- Very easy to mix up the nuts used the variety of chocolate or add coconut or customize to your liking.
What You’ll Need
- Graham Crackers
- Butter
- Nutella
- Hazelnuts
- Chocolate Chips
- Sweetened Condensed Milk
How To Make Nutella Magic Bars
- Place the butter and the graham crumbs in a mixing bowl and stir until combined. Spread the mixture evenly on the bottom of the prepared pan. You could also mix this together in the baking pan and use a spatula to spread into place.
- Using a teaspoon put little drops of Nutella all over the graham cracker crust. Optional, you can spread it all over the graham crust.
- Sprinkle the chopped and whole hazelnuts on top of Nutella followed by the chocolate chips.
- Pour the sweetened condensed milk over the chocolate chips.
- Bake for about 35 minutes until the bars are set. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely before slicing.
Can I Use Other Nuts
Absolutely! Hazelnuts go well since that is what Nutella is made from, but they can be hard to find. So you really can use any nut you like. Walnuts or pecans would be my first choice, but even peanuts would be delicious.
Storage
You want to cover Nutella Magic bars or store them in an airtight container. They will last for 4-5 days at room temperature. You can also freeze them. They will last in the freezer for 3-4 months. Just let them sit on the counter to thaw before serving.

Oh my gosh, these look so delicious. I must make these immediately!!! Thank you for the recipe!
I agree these look amazing. But spreading the nutella on the crust totally didn’t work for me. I have graham cracker crumbs smeared with Nutella everywhere. We’ll see how they turn out after they’ve baked and cooled. Definitely don’t try to spread. Extend the extra patience and drop it. I also wondering about blending it into the sweetened condensed milk.
WOW, what a great variation on magic bars! Pinned – I know my family will love these!
You just can’t go wrong with the words “Nutella” and “Magic”…I cannot wait to make these!
These look awesome!!, i can not wait to make these, i adore nutella, and hazelnuts!!, thank you for posting these!!
Hi, I made this but with a few changes- I ended up reducing the butter used in the crust so it was crisper and reduced the amount of hazelnuts in the filling, and they were lovely, thanks for sharing the recipe 🙂

So glad that you enjoyed it!
These were a disaster. There is no way they should cook for 35 minutes. Totally burned on the bottom and the bars were way too crisp. Magic bars should have a nice creamy texture from the condensed milk, as I have made them a million times in my life, these were a waste of time and ingredients. Very disappointed!
