Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (or 325°F if using a glass pan).
- Melt butter in the oven while preheating.
- Sprinkle graham cracker crumbs evenly over the melted butter and press down firmly to form a crust.
- Pour sweetened condensed milk evenly over the crumbs.
- Sprinkle chocolate chips and peanut butter chips on top.
- Press down firmly to secure the toppings.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes until golden brown.
- Allow to cool before cutting into bars.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using unsalted butter and a mix of semi-sweet and dark chocolate chips. If you're looking for a nut-free version, you can substitute the peanut butter chips with butterscotch chips or omit them entirely. To make the crust firmer, try adding a tablespoon of sugar to the graham cracker crumbs. The recipe can also be adapted using gluten-free graham crackers for a gluten-free treat.
Serving Suggestions
These cookie bars are delightful on their own, but you can elevate the dessert by serving them with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce. They also pair beautifully with a cup of coffee or a glass of milk. For a fun twist, try serving them with a side of fresh fruit to balance the sweetness.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover cookie bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. For longer storage, refrigerate them for up to a week or freeze for up to 3 months. To reheat, place a bar in the microwave for 10-15 seconds to soften it, or enjoy them cold straight from the fridge.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of cookie crumb for the crust?
Absolutely! You can substitute graham cracker crumbs with crushed vanilla wafers, Oreo cookie crumbs, or even crushed shortbread cookies for a unique flavor. Just ensure that the texture is similar to graham crackers to maintain the integrity of the crust.
What should I do if my bars are too gooey after baking?
If the bars are too gooey, it might be due to underbaking. Make sure to bake until they are golden brown and set in the middle. If they cool down and still seem too soft, refrigerating them for a couple of hours can help firm them up.
Can I make this recipe ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the bars a day in advance. Just store them in an airtight container at room temperature. If you're planning to freeze them, it's best to cut them into bars after they have completely cooled down, which will make it easier to separate them when frozen.
