Chocolate chocolate chip bars

October 16, 2015 by Roxana 36 Comments

Chocolate cookie base, fudge and 2 cups of chocolate chips – these over the top chocolate chip bars are a chocolate lover dream come true!

Chocolate cookie base, fudge and 2 cups of chocolate chips - these over the top chocolate chip bars are a chocolate lover dream come true!

I have admitted before and I’m going to say it again. I’m addicted to chocolate, clearly visible by my pants size. I have to have some every day. Some people drink 3-5 cups of coffee a day. Some drink a glass or two of wine. Some run. I eat chocolate.

And not only are my cabinets overflowing with all types of chocolate chips, bars or candy but I also have a problem with chocolate cookbooks. I buy them because they are about chocolate and I’m pretty sure I will find at least one recipe to make the book worth buying it.

And since it’s confessing time I have to add I have bought books that were so poorly written I had been seriously thinking of going back to the store to return them. And not just minor typos, but in some No-bake chocolate treats the directions started with Heat the oven to 350F. OK. That only happened in one cookbook.

Leaving that one book aside, I have taken so many ideas from the chocolate cookbooks I’m pretty sure I need another lifetime to bake everything I have put a sticky note on.

These chocolate bars, for example, come from a trusted cookbook. Hershey’s Chocolate Cookbook

Leaving aside that I have a love affair with Hershey’s kisses, I love Hershey’s recipes. I haven’t found one that didn’t turn out great!

In the original recipe, the fudge layer was made only of two ingredients: melted chocolate and condensed milk. Knowing that I’m making these for a bake sale, I mixed the melted chocolate and milk with some reserved cookie dough.

The fudge layer turned into a chewy rich chocolate layer when baked and the chocolate chips on top added a slightly crunchy texture to the bars. I can’t say how the original recipe turns out but these were so good I had a hard time giving them away at the bake sale.

    What... how that cookbook even got published!? :D Well, I'm a big chocolate fan too. Imagine the time I made/baked something with chocolate - it's rare occasion in my house so 2 kids and I are trying to get a last piece! I tend to eat extra and become out of control. These chocolate chip bars will disappear in less than 2 hours!

    I am so impressed with this website. I couldn't be more proud of Roxana. She is an amazing mother, cook, baker, chef, and dear sweet friend. I begin to drool at the sight of her beautiful photos, and have been privileged to indulge in her fantastic desserts. What a talent!!!!. We should all treat ourselves to something wonderful that she has created, and be spoiled by the incredible flavors. Love that girl.

    Very rich but heavenly. Much like a fudgey brownies. These would be great with the addition of nuts as well. Makes about 30 bars (6 rows of 5 bars each). These are very rich so you don't want to cut them too big. Thanks for sharing!

    Hi. In the directions for the recipe, it says to melt 1 cup dark chocolate and mix with the condensed milk. It is not listed in the ingredients. Is it chocolate chips or baking chocolate? Does it mean 1 cup of measured melted chocolate or to measure 1 cup of chocolate and then melt? Thanks.
