Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). In a 13 x 9-inch baking pan, melt margarine in the oven.
- Sprinkle graham cracker crumbs evenly over the melted margarine.
- Pour sweetened condensed milk evenly over the crumbs.
- Top with semi-sweet chocolate chips and peanut butter chips; press down firmly.
- Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until lightly browned.
- Remove from oven and cool. Cut into bars.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider substituting butter for margarine. If you're looking for a healthier option, try using whole grain graham cracker crumbs. You can also experiment with different types of chips, such as white chocolate or butterscotch, to customize the bars. Make sure to press down firmly on the chips before baking to ensure they adhere well, similar to how you would with Hello Dollies.
Serving Suggestions
These Double Delicious Bars are perfect for a dessert platter or as a sweet treat for a picnic. They pair beautifully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. For a fun twist, serve them alongside Connie'S Cherry Cheese Cake for a delightful dessert spread that will impress your guests.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. For longer storage, refrigerate them for up to two weeks. If you want to enjoy them warm, simply microwave individual bars for 10-15 seconds before serving. This will soften the chocolate chips and enhance the overall flavor.
