Whopper Cookie Bars: chewy malted milk cookie crust with a layer of fudge and crushed whopper candies!

Ingredients

For the Cookie Base:

  • ¾ cup butter flavored Crisco
  • 2 Tablespoons milk
  • 1 ¼ cup light brown sugar, packed
  • 1 large egg
  • ¼ cup malted milk powder
  • 1 ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¾ teaspoon baking soda

For the Topping:

  • 12 ounce package milk chocolate morsels
  • 1 can (14 ounce) sweetened condensed milk
  • ¼ cup Ovaltine chocolate malt powder
  • 12oz box Whoppers, slightly chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
  2. In large mixing bowl, beat crisco, milk and brown sugar until combined. Add egg and beat until fully combined. Slowly beat in malted milk powder, flour, salt and baking soda.
  3. Press cookie dough into a large baking sheet with one inch sides. I used a 15 ½ x 10inch pan. Bake for 18-20 minutes until browned. Remove from oven.
  4. Meanwhile, in large sauce pan, heat sweetened condensed milk over low heat. Add in milk chocolate and heat until smooth, whisking constantly. Remove from heat and whisk in ovaltine powder. Pour into prepared cookie crust.
  5. Pour whoppers into a large ziploc bag. Lay bag on a cutting board and whack it 2-3 times with a frying pan. Don’t pulverize the whoppers, and it’s okay if some are still whole. Press whoppers into fudge layer.
  6. Refrigerate cookies for 2 hours or overnight. Cut into squares. ENJOY!

Notes

  • How to chop whoppers: pour the candy into a large ziploc bag. Lay the bag on a cutting board and use a heavy frying pan to give the candies a few thuds. You don't want them pulverized; it's ok if there are still some whoppers in tact!
  • Storing: Keep these bars in an airtight container. Can be stored at room temperature or refrigerator, taste great cold.
  • I used a 15 x 10 inch baking pan to make these bars. Make sure your pan has rims that are at least 1 inch high.
