Ingredient Notes

Four ingredients needed for chocolate chip snickers bar recipe.
  • Chocolate chip cookie dough. To keep things easy, we used a refrigerated ready made cookie dough. Go ahead and swap it out for homemade Chocolate Chip Cookie dough if you like.
  • Snickers bars. It’s easiest to use the mini size bars that come in pouches and are already unwrapped. Full size bars or the wrapped mini bars work too! You’ll need to unwrap them and chop them into small pieces with a sharp knife.
  • To complete your 4 ingredient dessert bars, you’ll also need a can of sweetened condensed milk and some milk chocolate morsels.

Recipe FAQs

Do you cut chocolate chip bars before or after refrigerating them?

I cut my snickers chocolate chip bars after chilling. This gives the fudge layer time to set up and hold its shape when you slice it.

Can I use dark chocolate morsels instead of milk chocolate?

You sure can, if you love the taste of dark chocolate. You can even use white chocolate in this recipe. We support chocolate in all of its forms here!

How far in advance can I make cookie bars?

You can make cookie bars as many as 3 days in advance. I like to prep them the day before serving and let them set up overnight. If you do that, make sure to cover the pan with plastic wrap or foil to prevent them from drying out.

How much cookie dough do you need?

I use a 30 oz package of cookie dough. This is about the equivalent to one standard batch of homemade dough that yields 3 dozen cookies. Just make sure you have enough dough to evenly cover your whole baking sheet.

    I made these with my grandkids and baked the crust for 18 minutes because I only had a 9×13 pan. The condensed milk layer was very thick and hard to spread. Very Delicious, but with the high cost of everything today it was a $25 cookie bar!
