What Is A Chocolate Cookie Bar?
A chocolate cookie bar is simply a cookie but way better.
Love those super gooey chocolate cookies?
Well these bars are those cookies, but it feels like you are eating more of them as they are baked in a chunky bar form.
Rather than making individual cookies, you are also making one large batch and cutting them into squares, which makes them super easy.
Normally when I think of creating something out of leftovers, it is with the old boring drips and drabs that you have lying around in the pantry.
However, what about making something out of leftover chocolate bites?
Now this is something to sit up and take notice about!
Just look at that delicious pile of chocolate goodness all mixed together. It really is a dance on the taste bud’s.
Now imagine all this amazing chocolate mixed together to form cookie bars like no other cookie bar.
This is ultimately the cookie bar you have been dreaming about!
How To Make Chocolate Cookie Bars
This recipe uses Oreo’s, M&M’s, chocolate chips and Rolos, but you could really use your imagination and whip up a treat that is perfect for you.
Although I have to say that this combo is sitting quite nicely with me, so I’m not sure I would be rushing to change it in a hurry!
Step 1: Make The Batter
Simply whip up the batter from the recipe below and mix together with the chocolate treats.
Step 2: Pour Batter Mix Into A Pan
Cover a 8 x 8 inch baking tin with foil or parchment paper and pour in the batter mix.
Step 3: Bake The Cookie Bars
Bake the cookie bars for approximately 20 minutes.
Wait for that delicious chocolate aroma to fill the house!
Step 4: Cut The Cookie Bars
Lift the cookie bar out of the pan using the edges of the parchment paper and leave to cool for 20-30 minutes.
Once cooled the bars will be easier to cut into individual pieces.

Ideas For Different Cookie Bar Mix In
The great thing about these chocolate cookies bars is that you can change the recipe up to suit.
A few suggestions for taste variations include:

- Use alternative cookies of choice instead of the Oreo’s.
- Change the caramel Rolos to either a mint or an orange chocolate.
How To Freeze Chocolate Chip Cookies Bars
The chocolate cookie bars can easily be frozen which makes them the best treat to make ahead of time for parties or to have as easy to grab lunch box snacks.
To freeze, ensure that the cookie bars have first been cut into their individual squares.
Line a air tight container with parchment paper and place the cookie squares on the top. If you have more than one layer, ensure that there is a layer of parchment paper between the cookie bars.
The cookie bars can be kept in the freezer for up to 3 months and are best stored in the fridge overnight when defrosting.
There you have it.
