No Bake Chocolate Cookie Butter Bars

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

I love a simply delicious treat. I don’t know about you guys, but when the summer sun is beating down on my house, it gets HOT, even with the AC cranked up. So turning on the oven is essentially a death sentence, because I do not tolerate heat very well. I have a below average body temperature; I was built for Minnesota living, yo. But even though it’s hot, I still want a treat, or rather, my girls want one. Enter some No Bake Chocolate Cookie Butter Bars and I am officially the best mom EVAR.

Seriously, my kids only love me for my treats. Sad face.

Since I do not own a microwave, I melted my chocolate over the stove, but you can of course use a microwave, just use a lower power setting and stir every thirty seconds so the chocolate doesn’t scorch. It will also keep your house cooler, ha.

As I was making these bars, Vivienne decided she was going to help me unload the dishwasher, and in the process she managed to stuff a square glass into a circular one, and got it so stuck that random tiny chunks of the circular glass started popping off in random directions. We all fear for our lives, because I daren’t throw the whole thing away since the square glass is a whiskey glass beloved by my husband. Such tough decisions in life, I swear. I put a bucket over it to protect us, until I can finally jimmy them apart.

It’s a rough life we live here, I swear. But how about we get back to making some no bake chocolate cookie butter bars, cause I am sure you are dying to start making them yourself!

No Bake Chocolate Cookie Butter Bars

Prep Time 15 minutes

Total Time 15 minutes

Servings

Author Karly

Ingredients

For the Crust

8 oz Chocolate Graham Crackers
1/2 C Unsalted Butter, melted
3/4 C Cookie Butter

For the Chocolate Layer

2 C Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
1/2 C Cookie Butter
1/2 C White Chocolate Chips

Instructions

Grease a square pan, then line with parchment paper. Set aside.
In a food processor, add the graham crackers and pulse until a fine crumble forms. Add the melted butter and cookie butter and continue to pulse until thoroughly combined and the mixture holds together.
Dump the mixture into the square pan and press down with the back of a spoon to distribute it evenly and create a smooth surface.
In a small pot over low heat, combine the chocolate chips and cookie butter, stirring constantly until completely melted. Pour over the crust and smooth with a spatula.
Melt the white chocolate in a small pot over low heat, then drop small amounts over the chocolate layer. Use the tip of a spoon to stir it around the chocolate layer to create a fun pattern. Place in the fridge for 2 hours, or until firm and set.

  It is essentially cookies that are pulverized with a little oil or butter until they form a consistency like peanut butter, just with cookies instead! It's delicious! Popular brands are Biscoff and Speculoos, but you can make your own as well with any cookie really!

Wow, these look fab, Karly! I'd have never guessed how simple they were from your photos. Thanks for sharing... and glad to hear the dishwasher episode didn't leave any permanent scars!

Glad I read the previous comments because I was about to ask what cookie butter is. Now that I've been enlightened, I'll run right out and get some, because the marbelized tops of these bars is driving me crazy!

I just made these for some friends. They look very pretty and professional with the swirls.Why do you grease the square pan and then put parchment down on top of it? The parchment didn't sit smoothly in the pan. Could you use one of the Pam + flour sprays?

  It keeps the parchment paper in place so it doesn't pop out or slide around when putting the bars together! You can definitely go the Pam route for sure and just cut the bars in the pan and carefully lift them out that way! I just like the ease of parchment paper to lift the entire pan out.

  Hi Kate! You can get cookie butter at your local Walmart, in the same area as the peanut butter! Look for Biscoff brand! If you shop at Trader Joe's, look for Speculoos!

Made these last night! SO EASY. Almost ridiculously easy really. They are delicious - very rich and chocolate-y! My husband travels a lot for work and has now renamed them Airplane Bars because Biscoff cookies are often served on airplanes. You can really taste the cookie butter! YUM! Thank you!
