Photogenic they are not, but irresistible and delicious they most definitely are! These Candy Loaded Cookie Bars can be made with whatever chocolate candy you have on hand. If you have a bunch of candy leftover from Halloween, Christmas, Valentines, or whatever – chop it up and throw it in! Imagine a cookie that is rich and chewy and overflowing with all of your favorite chocolate candies. Here it is!
Here are some tips for making my Candy Loaded Cookie Bars:
- This recipe is great, because you can use whatever kind of chocolate candy you love and have on hand. For this particular batch, I used a combination of Milky Way, Snickers, Butterfinger, M&Ms, Kit Kats, Baby Ruths and Twix. I would have definitely used Reese’s as well, but those don’t last long around here! Just do a rough chop of whatever candy you decide to use and throw it in the batter.
- One of the best things about these bars is that they are soft and chewy. Don’t overtake them! You do not want to miss out on that delicious texture.
- Be sure to let these bars cool before you try to cut them. Because of all of the melted chocolate involved, they need time to cool and harden before you try to work with them too much.
