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
- 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
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.
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!
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.
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.

Can’t decide between cookie bars or Snickers? Make them both! These Chocolate Chip Snickers Bars are full of nutty, chocolatey flavors with swirl of caramel.
Just made these! Delicious! Did anyone bake the cookie dough longer than 15 minutes? They seem soft even after chilled but still turned out really good! I decorated with colorful sprinkles and candles for a birthday. Thank you for the recipe!
Is the cookie base crunchy or chewy? We prefer a crispy base under the soft fudge & I just want to make sure before I tackle making your delicious creation, thanks
The cookie base is soft, I wondered if I should have
Baked longer than the 15 minutes. They turned out great- very rich!
I made these with Reese’s cups and oh my! It was easy to make and my kiddos loved it.

What would I do if I wanted to use a 9×13 pan instead
Can you make in a 9 by 14
These look great. Do you cut them into bars after they’re refrigerated? Thank you
The pics are unbelievably good! And I can say the same for the cookies bars! I prepared the bars according to the recipe and I was astonished how good they really are. You should definitely try it out.
Thanks and Regards,

So glad to hear you loved them!!
Awesome. I would share it with my sister. That is what I’m getting for taking my little nephew to the zoo last week!!!
Thanks for the recipe will definetly try it at home.
About the printing i just did it so the problem is in your PC
Good day and 10x again 🙂
Can not get recipes to print. I clicked on the print at the top of the recipe but nothlng happens
I’m sorry to hear that. I just tried and it worked fine for me. Maybe a connection issue with your printer and computer?
After that I will never buy snickers again 🙂 Great Job!
Wow, these look yummmy!
Um, is it a full moon? Because I’ve been getting crazy comments and emails too. I think this one takes the cake though. Oh my gosh, too funny!
I am in love with this-snickers are my favorite candy bar.
That email…wow! People can be seriously crazy. Sorry you don’t like pupmkin and salted desserts…your loss!! I don’t mind a break from fall recipes though if it means I get to eat these snickers bars! They look insanely delicious, Yum! Pinning!
Oh my gosh, AMY, people be crazy! I can’t believe this lady! Wow. She’s missing out. But look on the bright side, at least you don’t bother her as much on Instagram. That’s good, right? Hahahahaha!
Life without pumpkin or salted caramel is a sad life. As I read this letter in my head I said “Damn. People be cray.” That pretty much sums up my feelings on picky readers…haha.
I think this is the best ever post – loved seeing your comments to that e-mail!!! Totally funny!!
I was thinking last night I really would like a Snickers Bar… forget that I am making these bars, even better!
