Hello Dollies (A.K.A Magic Bars)

These nostalgic, indulgent treats are the perfect way to sweeten up the holidays—simple, delightful, and filled with love.

Hello Dollies have been a cherished part of my family for as long as I can remember. My grandmother would always have a fresh batch ready for us whenever we visited. After she passed, I kept the tradition alive, baking them every holiday season. Their simple elegance and irresistible taste make them an enduring favorite. With only five ingredients, they’re effortless to prepare.
