Omg! SO YUMMY! Also, doesn’t taste overly rich which I prefer. Toddler and husband approved. We didn’t have carmel sauce, but it was still so good.
These were so easy to make and so delicious. I love how flexible they are too. I used chocolate chip cookie dough as a base, but used peanut butter oreos, and made a peanut butter swirl by just melting the peanut butter with some coconut oil. Thanks!
Hi Mary! LOVE that you made this fun dessert your own! PB oreos sounds so delish — we’ll have to try that, too!
This is a PERFECT dessert recipe!! Love all the yummy flavors combined!
Right?! All of the best desserts in one bar!
My bars fell apart, it was like they weren’t cooked enough. Even though I left them in oven an extra 8 minutes over maximum recommended time.
Oh no! We’re so sorry to hear this, Dani. This is a Cheese Knees favorite, and we’ve never had them fall apart. Can you share if you made any substitutions or cooked in different type of pan? Hoping we can get to the bottom of this!
My fiancé and I LOVE these and I’ve made them for our special occasions since we’ve discovered them. They are always so yummy!! My fiancé requested them for our wedding and I’m wondering if they could be made in cupcake tins to make easy individual servings? Any suggestions?
Oh what a fun idea, Kelsey! We’d be honored if you served these bars for your wedding dessert 😀 If you make them in a muffin / cupcake pan, I’d recommend using cupcake liners so you can get them out of the pan without any sticking. And start with baking for 15 minutes, and then increase from there if they’re not fully cooked. Please let us know how this goes!!
I’ve made these a few times and they are always a hit! I have also made them with sugar cookie base and vanilla oreos for folks that cannot eat chocolate and they loved them. I’ve been asked to bring these to every party that I attend after the first time I brought these. They are so quick and easy to make.
Oo a sugar cookie base is so fun!
