- Graham Cracker Crumbs: You can either purchase graham crackers and crush them or purchase graham cracker crumbs.

- Salt: Adds some flavor.
- Condensed Milk: Be careful not to grab sweetened condensed milk, otherwise it will be too sweet.

How To Cook Cranberry Magic Cookie Bars In Air Fryer
Spray your baking pan with cooking spray, and set aside. In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, the melted butter, and ¼ teaspoon of salt until well combined. Pour the graham cracker crumbs out into the greased baking pan and spread them out evenly to create the base. Use your hands to firmly press the base into the pan.
Set the pan into the air fryer and cook for 8 to 10 minutes at 300 degrees F, or until the crust is golden brown.
Slowly drizzle the can of condensed milk evenly over the graham cracker base. Do not try to use a spoon or anything else to spread the condensed milk. Add the dried cranberries, walnuts, coconut, chocolate chips, and remaining ¼ teaspoon of salt to a medium bowl and mix to combine. Sprinkle the mixture over the condensed milk in an even layer.
Air Fry at 310 degrees F, for 10 to 14 minutes or until the top is golden. Allow the cookie bars to set in the pan for at least an hour before cutting and serving.
Tips For The Best Air Fryer Cranberry Cookie Bars
- Do not try to spread the condensed milk over the graham cracker base as doing so will likely cause the crust to pull apart. It is OK if there are some small patches of crust showing beneath the condensed milk, it will spread more as it bakes.
- Ensure you are using sweetened shredded coconut and not unsweetened.
- You can substitute the walnuts for pecans to make the bars even more festive. If you need to make the bars nut free, replace the nuts with another ⅓ cup of cranberries, coconut, and chocolate chips. You want to have four cups of topping in total.
- Be sure to let the cookie bar set for at least an hour before you try to cut it. Cutting too early will result in the bars falling apart
How To Serve Cranberry Coconut Bars
The cookie bars can be cut with a cutter one set to create more uniform squares or even circles.
How To Store Cranberry Bars
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to five days.
These cranberry magic cookie bars make excellent gifts when wrapped in a clear plastic bag with a bow or added to a cookie tin.
