I made these for a BBQ I hosted last weekend. When you have 12 kids and 12 adults coming to your house, you must have plenty of goodies to choose from! Here’s what these bars have going on: a layer of egg-free monster cookie dough is topped by a decent layer of chocolate ganache. Oh, and M&M’S! Lots of them!
This recipe comes from a new cookbook by blogger Julianne Bayer: No Bake Treats: Incredible Unbaked Cheesecakes, Icebox Cakes, Pies and More. Julianne is also the author of the delicious blog Beyond Frosting. I’m loving her book filled with sweet treats that require NO BAKING! Here are some of droolworthy favorites from the book: Brownie Batter Cheesecake, Bourbon Butterscotch Pudding Pie, Peppermint Bark Icebox Cake, Salty Peanut Butter S’Mores Tart, Candy Lovers Ice Cream Pie, Hot Fudge Sundae Cupcakes, Cinnamon Roll Cheesecake Bars and Mudslide Parfaits. I love having a cookbook like this around to make easy treats where I don’t have to use the oven. It’s a great book to add to your collection.
I’m someone who likes cookie dough. Yeah, I know… you’re not supposed to eat it because of this and that and it’s not safe, blah blah blah. Well, I grew up munching on cookie dough while my Mom baked cookies… and I have lived to tell about it. That cookie dough had eggs in it. This cookie dough does not! If you’ve ever made Monster Cookies, you know how addicting the cookie dough is. That’s why these bars are awesome.
These treats were a big hit at my BBQ. The kids devoured them. The adults chowed down on them too. I can’t wait to make more treats from this book! P.S. Confession: I still like to nibble on cookie dough when I make cookies!! Here are a few more no bake bars you might enjoy:
