Chocolate Chip Dream Bars:

A moist and tender cookie bar with a layer of decadently soft chocolate, combined with the taste of butter and brown sugar makes this bar truly a dream.

The ingredients are simple (as I prefer them to be) and incorporate one of my favorite shortcuts for cookie bars: Baking Mix (think Bisquick).

This delectable dessert will have cookie and chocolate lovers singing your praises! I developed this recipe a couple of years ago and its become a fast favorite of mine. Of course, I’m a cookie lover through and through but Chocolate Chip Dream Bars hit all the right notes and contains all my favorite ingredients in a convenient bar cookie. I much prefer bar cookies since they are low fuss and perfect for traveling with. Family gatherings, potlucks, bake-sales, class parties, office events have people practically standing up on their hind legs, begging for these!

The ingredients for the Chocolate Chip Dream Bars are simple and you don’t even need a mixer — just stir it all together by hand.

Recipe Ingredients:

• Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
• Baking Mix (such as Bisquick)
• Sweetened Condensed Milk
• Dark Brown Sugar
• Butter
• Eggs
• Vanilla

As always, the full recipe is in printable format at the bottom of this post.

In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine sweetened condensed milk with 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips. Heat at one-minute intervals — stirring well after each — until melted, smooth, and ingredients are fully blended.

In a medium size mixing-bowl, stir together melted butter, brown sugar, vanilla, eggs, and baking mix until ingredients are fully incorporated with one another. Stir in remaining chocolate chips. 

Spread 2/3 of batter onto the bottom of greased 9×13 pan. Spread melted chocolate mixture on top — fully cover the batter from side to side. Drop spoonfuls of remaining batter on top.

Spread those spoonfuls of batter as best as you can. It’s okay if you still see the chocolate layer underneath some. That just makes for a prettier final bar.

Bake these Chocolate Chip Dream Bars at 350 for 20-25 minutes, or until lightly browned on top.
