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
