These bars are a magical concoction of luscious chocolate chips, creamy peanut butter chips, tropical coconut, and crunchy walnuts, all nestled atop a buttery graham cracker crust. Each bite offers a symphony of textures and flavors, making them a perfect treat for any occasion.
Ingredients:
For the Cookie Bars:
- 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1 cup peanut butter chips
- 1 cup shredded coconut
- 1 cup chopped walnuts (or any nuts of your choice)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×13 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
- Create the Base Layer: In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs with melted butter. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan to form a crust.
- Add Layers: Pour sweetened condensed milk evenly over the crust. Layer with chocolate chips, peanut butter chips, coconut, and chopped nuts, creating a delightful mosaic of flavors.
- Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is set.
- Cool and Serve: Let the bars cool completely in the pan. Once cooled, use the parchment paper overhangs to lift out the bars. Slice them into squares or rectangles.
Chef’s Tips:
- For a nut-free version, omit the walnuts or replace them with seeds like pumpkin or sunflower.
- Customize your bars by using different types of chips, such as white chocolate or butterscotch.
