Magic Cookie Bar Recipe from Disney's Wilderness Lodge Resort

Gluten Free Magic Cookie Bar Recipe / Photo Taken by Gluten Free & Dairy Free at WDW

Growing up, my family used to make a decadent dessert for the holidays called, "Seven Layer Cookie Bar." Imagine my surprise when I learned years later that Disney makes the same dessert at it's Wilderness Lodge Resort, and calls it the "Magic Cookie Bar."

Of course, as a celiac, this has been off limits for at the Disney Parks & Resorts, but you can easily recreate this at home with simple and gluten free ingredients. I've also included instructions for how to make dairy free and vegan.

You can see me walk through this recipe step-by-step in my YouTube video below.

Recipe yields - up to 24 individual bars

Ingredients:

• Butter, Vegan Buttery Spread, or Oil Spread (depending on preference)

• 1 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk (or can of Let's Do Organic Sweetened Condensed Coconut Milk)
