Magic squares are a very popular dessert in several Latin American countries, known for their simplicity and delicious flavor. Although the name may vary, in other places they are also called "condensed milk bars" or simply "sweet bars". This dessert has its origins in home cooking, where easily available ingredients are used to create a treat that combines crunchy and creamy textures. It is common to find variations that add coconut or nuts, providing more flavor and variety. Their popularity has transcended borders thanks to their quick preparation and the charming contrast between the crunchy base and the soft, sweet filling.
