Crisp on the outside, and soft & chewy on the inside. These bars are any chocolate lover’s dream! My son was off from school with the flu one day and I wanted to make something that would lift his spirits. Like his Dad, he is a big chocolate lover so I wanted to make something really special. Let me tell you – these bars are definitely special! My husband says they are brownies, but I say they are cookie bars because of the crispy outer shell, but please feel free to test them for yourself and weigh in on the debate. As a base for this recipe, I used my Classic Chocolate Chip Blondies recipe. I used that one instead of the more obvious chocolate variety because it is by far the best cookie bar recipe I’ve ever made. The only thing I changed is the addition of melted chocolate and cocoa powder and my goodness, what a good choice it was. I think I’ll be adding these to my gift baskets this year!
