Caramel bars with an oreo crust

This is a fabulous, yet pretty easy treat to whip up. It features an oreo crust, homemade caramel and melted milk chocolate on top. You will need oreos, butter, heavy cream, brown sugar and chocolate. I made these in a bread pan. I used a food processor to crush the oreos, but you can also use a rolling pin.

  • Oreo crust ingredients
  • 30 oreos, finely crushed
  • 6 tbs butter, melted

Line a bread pan with tin foil. In a bowl, combine crushed oreos and butter. Press in bottom of foiled pan. Freeze 15 minutes.

  • Caramel filling
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 8 tbs butter
  • 2 tbs heavy cream

In a saucepan, combine brown sugar and butter. Cook over low-medium heat, whisking, to a boil. Boil 1 minute. Remove from heat. Stir in heavy cream. Let set for 15 minutes. Pour over oreo crust.

Top with melted chocolate. Chill 30 minutes. Cut and store in covered container.

Thanks so much for stopping by today! Wishing you a day of peace, love and joy.

Congo/chocolate chip bars

Chocolate chip cookie bars

These are an easy, popular treat. Soft Chocolate Chip Cookies, in bar form. Less time consuming, but all the joy of chocolate chip cookies. An egg yolk makes these soft, as does the addition of cornstarch. Remember to scoop your flour from your flour container into your measuring cup so you get the right amount. I used a combination of regular chocolate chips and mini ones.

I may have removed these a little too soon from the oven, but I didn’t want to bake them too long and dry them out. So they are a little on the softer/gushier side. Rob did not seem to mind at all.

  • Ingredients
  • 1 cup butter, melted
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1 yolk
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 2 1/2 cups flour (scooped from your flour container into your measuring cup so you get the right amount)
  • 1 tbs cornstarch
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 cups chocolate chips

Directions – preheat oven to 350 degrres for 20 minutes. Line an 8×8 pan with tin foil and spray with baking sprat. In a bowl, combine butter, brown sugar and sugar. Add yolk, eggs and vanilla. Blend in dry ingredients. Fold in chips. Spread into pan. Bake 30 minutes (edges will be lightly brown). Cool completely. Cut and store in covered container.

Thank you so much for stopping by today. I hope you have a wonderful day. Please do your best to spread as much love as you can out there. Things have been so awful recently, your small act of kindness may do wonders for someone.

A reminder to scoop your flour from your flour bag into your measuring cup and preheat your oven to 350 degrees for 20 minutes so you get the correct temperature for baking.

  • Dash salt
  • 1 cup milk chocolate chips

Directions – preheat oven to 350 degrees for 20 minutes before baking. Line an 8×8 pan with tin foil and spray with baking spray. In a microwave safe bowl, melt butter and pb chips in 45 second increments until you can stir smooth. Add sugar and brown sugar. Mix in eggs, one at a time, and vanilla. Blend in flour and salt. Fold in chips. Mixture will be thick. Spread into prepared pan. Bake 20 to 25 minutes, until you see light golden patches on top. Cool completely. Top with melted chocolate.
