Ooey Gooey Bars are delicious treats that usually consist of layers of various ingredients like a buttery crust, sweetened condensed milk, chocolate chips, and sometimes nuts. Here’s a basic recipe for Ooey Gooey Bars:
Ingredients:
For the Crust:
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
For the Gooey Layer:
- 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Toppings:
- 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips (semi-sweet or milk chocolate)
- 1 cup chopped nuts (optional, such as walnuts or pecans)
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- In a medium bowl, combine the melted butter, graham cracker crumbs, and sugar for the crust. Mix well, and press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
- In another bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Pour the sweetened condensed milk mixture evenly over the crust in the baking dish.
- Sprinkle the chocolate chips and nuts (if using) over the top of the sweetened condensed milk layer.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and the center is set.
- Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan before cutting them into squares or bars.
- Once cooled, you can store the Ooey Gooey Bars in an airtight container at room temperature. They can also be refrigerated if you prefer them chilled.
