Oreo Double Choc Cookie Bars

 .....Gooey Oreo Double Chocolate Cookie Bars..... 

 

This cookie bar is super rich, gooey, chocolatey and caramely with a delicious buttery Oreo crunch base! *drool*. I made the batch to serve to the in laws as an after dinner treat which went down very well - as did the remainder of the batch with my office!  

 

Ingredients

• 24 Oreos (two standard packs)
• 56g butter (melted)
• 1 (392g) can sweetened condensed milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 200g milk chocolate chips  

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 165 degrees C.
2. Set aside 6 cookies and grind the rest in a food processor or blender. In a small bowl, stir together the cookie crumbs and butter until well blended. *Press firmly and evenly into the bottom of an 11x13 inch pan.
3. In the microwave (in 15second bursts), melt 100g of chocolate chips together with the condensed milk and vanilla extract. Stir frequently until smooth. Spread evenly over the crumb crust. Sprinkle the remaining cup of chocolate chips over the top. Break the 6 remaining cookies into pieces by hand and sprinkle over the top.
4. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes in the preheated oven. Allow to cool/set completely in the tin before cutting into bars or it will make a big mess!

*i lined my tin with baking parchment to allow the bar to be lifted out before cutting into pieces, i recommend you do this; where the mix had gone through onto the tin it was stuck fast, i wouldn't have fancied hacking the bars out of there and i would have lost the chewy caramelised edges the outer pieces had.

 

I only managed to take one pic, they were so quick to make - and were eaten in no time at all! :)

 

Enjoy!
