Ingredients

- Sugar – A small amount of granulated white sugar is added to the cookie crumb base.
- Butter – Melted butter is addled to the cookie crumbs to make a decadent cookie base.
- Chocolate chips – I used semi sweet chocolate chips.
- Walnuts – Walnuts add a nice nutty and chewy texture to the bars.
- Condensed milk – This is the ingredient that makes these bars very chewy and decadent.

NOTE, The full recipe and ingredient list can be found at the end of the post in the recipe card.

Instructions
- Preheat oven – Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Grease and line a 15 x 10 inch baking tray. Set aside.
- Bake cookie base – In a large bowl combine the cookie crumbs, sugar and butter. Mix well. Pour onto baking tray and press it firmly into the tray. Bake for around 12 – 15 minutes, turning halfway through baking. Remove from oven and leave to cool for about 15 minutes.
- Top cookie base and bake – Sprinkle over nuts and chocolate pieces. Then evenly drizzle over the condensed milk and top with coconut. Return to oven for a further 12- 15 minutes or until the coconut is golden. Remove from oven and leave to completely cool.
- Cool, cut and serve – Cut into bars or squares. Can be frozen!






Recipe Tips
- Use parchment paperย โ To get the bars out of the pan easily, I recommend lining it with parchment paper before baking.
- Watch baking timeย โ Be careful not to over bake the cookie base. Mine baked in 12 minutes. It could easily be done before the 12 minute mark, so just keep an eye on them.
- Allow to cool completelyย โ These will have the best texture when they have cooled completely. They are even great cold from the fridge.

Substitutions
How to substitute condensed milk if you don’t have any!
- Evaporated milk – You can use evaporated milk and sugar. Simple. Just put about 1 cup/200 grams of sugar along with a can of evaporated milk in a saucepan. Bring to a gentle boil and then reduce heat to low and leave to simmer, stirring occasionally for about 20 minutes.
- Regular Fresh Milk – You can just use fresh milk.ย If you want to do it this way, add about 2 cups/480 ml of milk to the saucepan along with 1 cup/200 grams of sugar.ย Using the same method of boiling and reducing to simmer.ย This process will take about 10 to 15 minutes longer than by using the evaporated milk.ย Once it has reduced and thickened cut in about 2 tablespoons of butter and a dash of vanilla.ย

Storage and Serving
- At room temperatureย โ You can keep these cookie bars in an airtight container up to four days.
- In the fridgeย โ Store these cookie bars in an airtight container and layer parchment paper between the layers. They will keep fresh for up to a week.
- Freeze from freshย โ If you want to freeze these cookie bars, freeze them when they have cooled down. Just place them in a freezer proof container or bag. They will keep for about two months in the freezer.
