Chocolate Chip Sandwich Bars
Ingredients
GOOEY CHOCOLATE FILLING:
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- One 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
COOKIES:
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated white sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 large egg yolk
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup quick-cooking or old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 3 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Procedure
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly butter a 9x13-inch pan with parchment paper, allowing enough overhang on the long side to lift the bars from the pan.
2. Prepare the gooey chocolate filling: Place the chocolate chips and condensed milk in a small saucepan over the lowest possible heat and cook, stirring constantly, until the chocolate has melted and the mixture has thickened, 3 to 5 minutes. Turn off the heat, add vanilla, and stir until smooth. Set aside to cool to room temperature.
3. Prepare the cookie dough: Place the butter and sugars in a large bowl. Beat with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Add the egg, egg yolk and vanilla. Beat well. Whisk together the flour, oats, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl. Add to the butter mixture. Beat until everything is well incorporated, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Stir in the chocolate chips.
4. Prepare the bars: Using half of the batch of cookie dough, place dollops into the prepared pan and press down lightly to even it out. Pour the cooled chocolate mixture over the dough and then add small dollops of the remaining dough on top. Don’t worry if the dollops don’t completely cover the chocolate mixture. Just spread it together as much as you can, and let some chocolate peek through.
5. Bake until lightly browned, 20 to 25 minutes. Set aside to cool completely, then cut into 32 bars.
Tips:
*These are easiest to cut when they have chilled for a while. You’ll be able to get nice, clean cuts when they’re firmer, then they’ll soften up a bit when they’re at room temperature again.

Peanut butter rocky road bars
INGREDIENTS
Peanut Butter Bars:
1 1/3 cups plus 1 Tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/8 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 stick butter, softened
1/2 cup smooth peanut butter
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup plus 2 Tablespoons brown sugar, lightly packed
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 large eggs
2 King Size Hershey Bars with Almonds, roughly chopped
Topping:
13 oz jar Marshmallow Creme
6 Tablespoons butter
1/4 cup cocoa powder
1/4 cup milk
2 1/2 cups powdered sugar
1/3 cup almonds, chopped
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Preheat oven to 350. Spray an 11×7 baking pan (NOT 9×13 or 8×8) with nonstick spray.
2. In a medium sized bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. set aside.
3. In the bowl of a mixer, cream butter, peanut butter, and both sugars and vanilla on medium high until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating on medium speed after each. Add dry ingredients to the bowl and mix on low until fully combined, scraping sides of bowl as needed. Fold in chopped candy bars and spread the batter evenly in prepared pan.
4. Bake for about 25-30 minutes or until edges are dark golden and center is lightly browned and puffy.
5. While bars are still warm, spoon marshmallow cream over the surface. Give it a few minutes to soften and melt, then spread evenly with a spatula.
6. Prepare fudge frosting: Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Stir in cocoa powder and milk and cook, stirring constantly until mixture thickens and JUST begins to bubble. Remove from heat and stir in powdered sugar and chopped almonds until fully combined.
7. Spoon frosting evenly over marshmallow topping. Marshmallow may start to bubble up–that is okay. You may want to place pan of bars on a baking sheet before adding chocolate frosting in case of a little bit of frosting drips over the sides of the pan.
8. Let bars cool before serving. To keep marshmallow from getting too melty and to ease in cutting, store in refrigerator.
