Candy Topped Cookie Bars

from Kaitlin in the Kitchen

1 Cup (2 Sticks) Butter, softened
1 Cup Brown Sugar
1/2 Cup Sugar
1/2 tsp Baking Soda
1/2 tsp Salt
2 Eggs
1 tsp Vanilla Extract
2-1/4 Cups All-Purpose Flour
1 Cup Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips (I prefer milk chocolate chips)
About 8-10 Fun Size Candy Bars, chopped (Butterfinger, Snickers, PB cups, etc)


1. Cream butter and sugars until fluffy. Add baking soda and salt, then mix.

2. Add eggs and vanilla and beat until just incorporated.

3. Add flour and mix until well blended.

4. Pour batter into an even layer in a greased 9"x 13" baking pan. Bake in a pre-heated 350℉ oven for about 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean (they should be a dark golden brown). As soon as they come out of the oven, sprinkle chocolate chips over top and let set for about 5 minutes. The chocolate chips should be melted and easily spreadable. Spread them in a even layer over the bars, then quickly before the chocolate sets, sprinkle on your chopped candy bars. Let cool before cutting into bars.

For this picture I did half with Butterfingers and half with Reese's PB Cups

  1. I REALLY want to make these, but it's 100 degrees here right now and we don't have air conditioning! But they're at the top of my list when it cools down. Also on the list is the motzerella sticks and the smore bars!

  2. We made these last week and topped them with Heath candy bars. They were very yummy!
