Why this Recipe Works

Everyone knows cookie bars are easier than drop and bake cookies. So why not give these SNICKERS bars a try next.

  • You only need four ingredients to make Chocolate Chip Snickers Bars!
  • The chocolate chip cookie crust bakes quickly in the oven. When it’s done you just spread on the toppings and pop it in the fridge.
  • Chocolate, peanut and caramel are the stars of the show here! The chocolate chip cookie dough crust acts as a deliciously sweet and chewy vehicle for enjoying the classic Snickers candies.

We love chocolate and caramel here. Our turtle brownies are a reader favorite!

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.

Easy Instructions

Bake the cookie dough:

Spread the dough into a greased baking sheet. Bake for 15 minutes and let it cool a bit.

Add the snickers topping:

Melt the chocolate morsels with sweetened condensed milk in the microwave. Spread this mixture evenly over the cookie crust.

Sprinkle with the chopped snickers immediately. Refrigerate for about 2 hours or up to overnight.

Cut into bars and serve.

Tips and Tricks

  • Substitutions. Feel free to swap about the Snickers for another favorite candy bar. This recipe is delicious with Milky Ways, Twix Bars, Reese’s cups and so much more.
  • These bars are rich and fudgy. Serve with a glass of cold milk or strong coffee to complement the sweetness.
  • Store bars in an airtight container at room temperature. They’re also if stored in the fridge and eaten cold!
  • Freezer friendly! Got leftovers? Store them in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 3 months. Thaw in fridge overnight before serving.
  • Use our Nestle toll house cookie recipe for the base!

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.

  1. Oh, my word! I’m seriously cracking up over here. Shelly sounds like quite the demanding individual! She seriously left you because of too much pumpkin and salted caramel? Clearly she is completely batty!!! Although she totally gave you some awesome blog material and us a big laugh. The snarky part of me would have posted a salted caramel pumpkin recipe next 😉 LOL! Clearly you are nicer than me!

  2. Are you joking? People can be so mean sometimes. I mean seriously does she know that you are human and have feelings too? I need to come to a conclusion that you can’t make everyone happy. I get butt hurt when people stop following me on Instagram, Facebook and my blog, but this email totally made my day because really we don’t need people like that in our lives. Positive and happy people are the way to go. My dad loves snickers bar. I am gonna have to make these for him. Thank you Amiee (hate when people spell my name wrong too)! Pinned!! 🙂

    1. PS love all the photos with coffee in them!! Your my cup of Joe Amiee, hehe!! 🙂 A lil humor!

  3. Is that email for real, Aimee? Geez. Whatever happened to “if you can’t say anything nice…”
    Yep, she’s cray cray. Ignore the haters. Embrace the love!
    And these bars come from lots of love. They’re fabulous.

  4. Oh my gosh, this is HILARIOUS. Are you for real??? She wants you to email her a digest of recipes every week? Hahha while you’re at it, can you email me any recipes that DO have pumpkin, caramel, and apples??? I love that you don’t bother her much on Instagram. Ha!

    Also, this recipe looks AWESOME, caramel and all!

  5. Okay, just wow. I’ve gotten some pretty rude comments and emails about my blog before, but I think that one takes the cake. That person doesn’t like pumpkin, caramel OR apples?! I kinda feel sorry for her.—She’s missing out on so much awesomeness!
    Speaking of which, these bars?! I kinda need ’em in my face right now. Totally drooling here!

  6. Whoa whoa whoa… No pumpkin. No caramel. And no sweet-and-salty goodness. Ohmygoodness, this person is TOTALLY missing out!! You can send all those recipes to me instead of her — I don’t mind! Especially if they come with the baked goodies so I can eat them all… 😉 Readers never cease to amaze me, especially with their funny comments. I’m glad you could laugh about it! And these snickers bars. Please oh please… Send me that person’s serving!! And then the rest of the pan too. My chocoholic candy-loving self needs them! 🙂 Pinned!

  7. Oh my gosh, WHAT! I’m so sorry you had to get that email. I have to admit though that I laughed when I read it. It’s just so freaking ridiculous. People think they can say whatever they want because they are protected by their computer screen. Ugh. Bring on the salted caramel forever and ever!! XO

  8. Whhhat? That can not be for real. If so she is completely bat shit crazy. Salted caramel AND pumpkin FTW.

  9. Yes please! Snickers are the best and combined with more chocolate and cookie dough? I am so there! These look fantastic!!

  10. Omg, too funny! I love emails like that. Shelly needs to take her booty to Starbucks immediately for a salted caramel latte so that her life can be forever changed.

    And btw, when I was little and was convinced I would change my name when I turned 18, I had settled on Aimee! I love it.

    1. Awww that’s adorable, you could have been an Aimee too 🙂 I always wanted to be a Linda. I loved make a cursive “L” hehe!!

  11. OK…..I MAY BE ABLE TO COMMENT WHEN I STOP LAUGHING. I ACTUALLY HAD TO GO BACK AND RE-READ A FEW LINES BECAUSE I THOUGHT I HAD MISSED SOMETHING.
    YEP, JUST DELETE WHAT DOESN’T APPEAL TO YOU AND SHE REALLY IS MISSING OUT. YOU ARE SO CREATIVE … AND WHAT ABOUT THOSE WHO DO NOT LIKE CHOCOLATE… LIKE MY SISTER…..AS FOR ME I WILL BE MAKING THESE WONDERFUL BARS AS SOON AS MY FINGERS LEAVE THSES KEYS !!
    SORRY ABOUT THE CAPS….THE KEY IS STUCK AND I DISLIKE IT AS MUCH AS YOU DO TRYING TO GET MY SON TO FIX IT .

  12. Haha! Love it! Clearly, Shelly never tried salted caramel or made your recipes. She should – it would convert her and make into a believer!! 🙂
    These bars – oh, yes! They are happening soon! Love how easy they are!
    Pinned!

    1. I agree. Once you have a salted caramel dessert or drink…there is no reason to ask why. haha. Thanks for pinning Anna!

  13. Shelly is missing out. You can’t love every recipe- BUT appreciate them for their creativity, and the beautiful pictures. I love each and every recipe that comes to my inbox. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  14. Aimee! I’d just like to say that your blog is amazing and probably one of the best parts is that you post often! Forget what Shelly says, this is your blog and you have every right to post whichever sweets you want (which are all great). If a reader does not enjoy salted caramel or pumpkin they could just omit or try another recipe! But I think that it’s wonderful that you have variety so that depending on a reader’s taste he/she can make what he/she wants.
    Please continue with the incredible job you have been doing in growing your blog!
    Best wishes!

    1. Thank you Jessica, it’s so nice to hear!! I do try to give a variety…but I also try to share seasonal recipes. I’m glad you enjoy it here 🙂

  15. WOW-that’s a lot of work that Shelly would like you to do! lol

    I’m not a big pumpkin fan either (although salted caramel I looooove) but somehow I’ll just get through this tough time 😛

    And she’s missin’ out on these amazing bars! so gooey and sweet and looooooverlyyyy

    1. Not a fan of pumpkin? I don’t even know what to say. LOL. I’ll just have to add a few extra candy bar treats into the mix this fall 🙂

  16. First things first, I cannot wait to try this recipe. Snickers are my absolute favorite candy bar and this looks super tasty (not to mention crazy easy)! Secondly, some people are just…well, just nutty.

    Enjoy your Saturday; I know I will once I swing by the store to grab these ingredients!

  17. This woman has way too much time on her hands. This is a First World problem if ever there was one.

    PS: I love your blog and almost every recipe sounds awesome. The ones that don’t I just skip. Duh.

    1. Thank you Karen for following my blog. And yes, the delete button is much easier to use than me writing an email for one person, hehe.

  18. Hahahaha! This has me rolling. I was taught if you can’t say anything nice then don’t say it at all, so I’m going to leave this one alone.
    These cookie bars are screaming my name. I love snickers! And caramel. Along with all of the pumpkin and apple you’ve been sharing lately. Keep them coming, AIMEE!
    xoxo
    You’re fan for life!
