Luscious Heavenly Chocolate Bars

Need a dessert to show your family you really love them on Valentine’s Day?  These are truly a chocolate lovers Heaven in one single bite! And if you can only eat one bite, kudos to you, because I ate 1/2 the pan. The bottom layer is chocolate chip cookie, topped by Oreo cookies, followed by a brownie layer.  Because of my love of all things Ghiradelli, I chose to make the chocolate chip cookie layer using Ghiradelli Milk Chocolate chips and following the cookie recipe on the bag, as well as using a Ghiradelli brownie mix.  Depending on your baking desires, you can do as much work or as little as you want.  You can make your cookie dough from scratch, using your favorite recipe, or use the Betty Crocker pouch mix, or even the refrigerated cookie dough.  The same goes for the brownie layer…it’s totally up to you.  I will say – using the Ghiradelli made it so yummy.  The taste of their chocolate chips are like no other.  The Oreo Cookies between the layers of Ghiradelli may seem a little odd, but do not fear, they lend a flavor to the center layer that is unrivaled by any other cookie.

While these are best served warm, right from the oven, with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, my family enjoyed them all day.  My preference was to pop them back into the microwave for about 10 seconds….there is just something about warm melty chocolate that soothes my soul!
