Default Recipe Help: Hello Dolly Bars

Got the following recipe from Penzey's:

Hello Dolly Bars

Prep Time: 10 minutes
Baking Time: 20-25 minutes
Yield: 3 dozen

½ C. butter, melted
1½ C. graham cracker crumbs
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
1 C. chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans are great)
1 C. chocolate chips
1-1/3 C. shredded coconut
14 oz. sweetened condensed milk
1 tsp. vanilla extract

Preheat oven to 350° F. Mix butter, graham gracker crumbs, and
cinnamon until well blended. Press mixture into bottom of an ungreased
9" X 13" baking dish to form a thin crust. Layer with nuts, chocolate
chips, then coconut. In a small bowl, mix condensed milk with vanilla.
Pour evenly over top of bars; bake for 20-25 minutes, until lightly
golden.

I made these twice over the holidays, to rave reviews. Then a friend
told me his aunt makes a similar item (called "Magic Bars"), and my
recipe was missing something. Anyone have an idea of what that might
be (he didn't know). And yes, I could Google "Magic Bars", but I'd
much rather get a personal RFC opinion, if possible.

Many thanks in advance... :-)
