MM Chocolate Cookie Bars
MM Chocolate Cookie Bars are no-bake treats made by layering crunchy cookie crumbs with gooey chocolate, chewy marshmallows, and melted chocolate for a rich, decadent finish. They have a chewy, sticky texture with a crispy base and a shiny chocolate topping, sliced into bars once set. The mixture involves melting, mixing, and pressing to create a layered, dessert-like bar that’s both comforting and indulgent.
Equipment
- Mixing bowls
- 9x13-inch baking pan
- Rubber spatula
- Double boiler or microwave-safe bowl
- Parchment paper or cooking spray
Ingredients
- 2 cups cookie crumbs preferably crushed graham crackers or digestives
- 1 cup marshmallows mini or regular, chopped if large
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips for melting and topping
- 1 cup sweetened condensed milk to make the chocolate topping smooth
Instructions
- Line your baking pan with parchment paper or spray it lightly with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cookie crumbs with melted butter, stirring until the mixture looks like damp, crumbly sand. This forms the crunchy base of your bars.
- Press the crumb mixture firmly into the prepared pan, creating an even layer that covers the bottom. Use the back of a spoon or a spatula to smooth and compact it down.
- Spread the marshmallows evenly over the cookie crust. They will start to settle into the layer, giving a chewy texture to the filling.
- Place the pan in the freezer for about 10 minutes; this helps the marshmallows set slightly before adding the chocolate topping.
- While waiting, melt the chocolate chips along with the sweetened condensed milk in a double boiler or microwave in short bursts, stirring until smooth and glossy.
- Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the marshmallows, spreading it evenly with a spatula to cover the entire surface. This forms the shiny, rich top layer.
- Return the pan to the refrigerator and chill for at least 10-15 minutes until the chocolate is set and the bars are firm.
- Once set, use a sharp knife to cut the bars into rectangles or squares, revealing the layered, chewy, and chocolaty interior.
- Serve the cookie bars directly from the fridge for the best chewy and gooey texture. Enjoy their rich chocolate flavor and nostalgic crunch.
