| If you like chocolate, coconut and pecans...you will LOVE these cookie bars! |
I discovered a recipe on the back of my Nestle chocolate chip bag for Outrageous Cookie Bars. (We buy our chocolate chips at Costco in the jumbo bag... a ridiculously huge package of chocolate chip morsels!) The recipe claimed they were quick and easy, plus I had all the ingredients so I decided to give them a try. These bars need a better name...they are so scrumptious that I found myself tonight scraping the empty pan hoping to gather up a few crumbs with my spoon. (Yes, we devoured the entire batch of cookies in less than 24 hours!)
They only require a few ingredients, and are simple enough that the kids can help you create them. Want to sample them? Here's the recipe:
Outrageous Cookie Bars
½ cup (1 stick) butter
1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
1 can (14 oz.) sweetened condensed milk
2 cups (12 oz.) semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 cup flaked coconut
1 cup chopped pecans
Preheat oven to 350°F.
Melt butter in 9 x 13 inch baking pan in oven; remove from
oven. Sprinkle graham cracker
crumbs over butter. Stir well;
press onto bottom of pan. Pour
sweetened condensed milk evenly over crumbs. Sprinkle with chocolate chips, coconut, and nuts. Press down firmly.
Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until light golden brown. Cool completely in pan. Cut into bars. Makes 2 to 3 dozen bars.
Absolutely delicious!!
