Ooey Gooey Chunky Bars

I love bars. I love cookies too, but sometimes I don’t have the time, going back and forth with all the cookie sheets in and out of the oven. That’s when bars are great. But not all bars are as good as cookies.  A lot of bar recipes taste like they are trying to be cookies, but they don’t quite make the mark.

Now this bar recipe? It can stand on its own two sticky ooey gooey feet. I created this recipe for “Ooey Gooey Chunky Bars” after some trial and error and my whole family loves the result!

Ooey Gooey Chunky Bars are like chocolate chip cookies on steroids! The bar form makes this recipe quick and easy to make while the toffee, white chocolate, and chocolate chips combo will satisfy any sweet tooth!

How to Make Ooey Gooey Chunky Bars:

Ingredients: 

• 1/2 cup butter, softened
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
• 2 eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1.5 cups white chocolate chips
• 1.5 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1.5 cups toffee bits, divided

Start by preheating your oven to 350°

In a large mixing bowl, mix 1 stick of softened butter (if you forgot to pull out your butter ahead of time, soften it quickly with this super fast butter softening tip) until it’s nice and fluffy.

Add 3/4 cup of sugar and 3/4 cup brown sugar (packed) and mix.

Now add 2 eggs and 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract. Mix them together well.

In a separate bowl, combine 1.5 cups of flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Add slowly to the creamed mixture. You could dump it in all at once, but you’ll wind up in a cloud of flour. But that’s up to you…

Mix it up good. It will be thick.

Add the chocolate chips…

..and white chocolate chips and 1 cup of toffee bits.

Doesn’t that look yummy? Fold it together with a spoon.

Spread the dough into a greased 9x13x2″ pan. It’s kinda sticky, so I used the back of a spoon dipped in flour to spread it out.

Lastly sprinkle the remaining toffee bits evenly over the top.

Bake at 350º until the top begins to crack and is golden brown.

Cool on a wire rack and cut into bars.

Then bite into that ooey gooey chunky goodness and enjoy!
