Hi there, Ameera here!

What can I say other than these bars are pure indulgence!  They are sweet with tons of melty chocolate chips in a cookie bar. Best eaten warm with a cup of coffee, glass of plant milk or topped with some “nice-cream,” you can’t go wrong serving these to guests.

You gotta give this one a try!

Tips for Success:

• Flavor Profile: These Chocolate Chip Dough Bars are very decadent, sweet, ooey, gooey, rich and chewy. They melt in your mouth.  We call them “dough” bars simply because they feel very slightly underbaked for that full rich experience, similar to a skillet cookie. These bars are sweet and ultra-indulgent!
• Parchment Paper Liner: Line the baking dish with parchment paper to cover the bottom, allow excess paper to go up two of the sides and hang over the edge for easy removal of the bars.
• Removal from Pan: Make sure you run a sharp knife all along the edges of the pan where the parchment paper isn’t covering the edges to ensure that the bars don’t stick to the sides when lifting it from the pan.
• Texture of Bars: These bars are ooey and gooey.  Think warm, melty, gooey, chocolatey chip bars.  They are not firm, but soft with some slight gooeyness to them.  They are meant to be eaten warm as a dessert using a fork.  They are great at room temperature, but the intended eating experience is meant to be enjoyed warm from the oven.   We like to place room temperature bars in the microwave for about 10 to 15 seconds to remelt the chocolate.  They taste just like they came out of the oven all over again.
• Serving Ideas: You can serve these warm with a scoop of “nice-cream” or with a cup of black coffee.  These bars are sweet!
• Walnuts: We also kitchen tested these with walnut.  The walnuts are not an integral part of this recipe, so we left it off the recipe completely.  If you enjoy walnuts in your chocolate chip cookies, then feel free to place ½ cup in the dough right when you add the chocolate chips.
• Sea Salt: Please adjust the sea salt based upon your family’s sea salt preferences and/or based upon dietary needs.

Leftovers and Freezing:

Leftovers will generally keep for 4-5 days in the refrigerator.  Store in a covered container.  For that fresh out-of-the-oven experience, reheating can be done in the oven, or in the microwave.

These bars freeze well.  Thaw out in the refrigerator.

Pantry Products Used:

Cashew Butter:  This recipe was specifically created to use cashew butter.  You can easily substitute the cashew butter for almond butter or sun butter with the understanding that the flavor will change slightly.

Vegan Chocolate Chips:  We used Enjoy Life Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips.  Please feel free to use your favorite chocolate chips or favorite chocolate bar chopped up.

Kitchen Products Used:

• 8 x 8 baking pan
• Parchment papper

We certainly hope you give this deliciousness a try.
