Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 cups chocolate graham crackers
Chocolate Components:
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- Extra chocolate chips for topping
Liquid and Flavor Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon (5 milliliters) vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup (113 grams) unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
- Create a sturdy foundation by pulverizing graham crackers and blending with melted butter until uniformly moistened. Press the crumbly mixture compactly into an 8×8-inch pan, forming a solid base. Chill in the refrigerator for 10 minutes to stabilize the crust.
- In a separate bowl, whip softened butter with brown and granulated sugars until achieving a fluffy, pale consistency. Incorporate milk and vanilla extract, stirring until completely integrated. Carefully fold in heat-treated flour, ensuring smooth incorporation. Gently fold chocolate chips throughout the dough, distributing evenly.
- Carefully spread the prepared cookie dough across the chilled graham cracker crust, using a spatula to create an even layer. Garnish the surface with additional chocolate chips, delicately pressing them into the top for enhanced visual appeal.
- Transfer the assembled bars to the refrigerator and allow to set for 2-3 hours until completely firm and cohesive. Once chilled, slice into uniform squares using a sharp knife. Serve directly from the refrigerator for optimal texture and flavor.
Notes
- Heat-treat flour by microwaving or baking to eliminate potential bacteria, ensuring safe consumption of raw cookie dough.
- Use room temperature ingredients for smoother mixing and better texture in the cookie dough layer.
- Create gluten-free version by substituting graham crackers with gluten-free alternatives and using gluten-free flour blend.
- Try different mix-ins like chopped nuts, M&Ms, or caramel chips to customize the bars and add exciting flavor variations.
