Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 2 cups crushed cookies (such as graham crackers, digestive biscuits, or chocolate cookies)
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup sweetened condensed milk

Instructions

  1. Prepare the cookie base: In a large mixing bowl, combine the crushed cookies and melted butter thoroughly until all crumbs are evenly coated with butter.
  2. Add condensed milk: Pour the sweetened condensed milk into the cookie and butter mixture. Stir well until the mixture is fully combined and sticky.
  3. Press mixture into pan: Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it. Transfer the mixture into the pan and press it down firmly and evenly using the back of a spoon or your fingers to create a compact layer.
  4. Chill to set: Place the pan in the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours or until the bars are fully set and firm enough to cut.
  5. Cut and serve: Once set, remove from the fridge, lift the bars out using the parchment paper, cut into squares or bars, and enjoy.

Notes

  • You can use any type of cookies you prefer—chocolate, vanilla, or even gluten-free options.
  • For an extra flavor boost, consider adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the mixture before pressing it into the pan.
  • Store the bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
  • To make the bars more decadent, sprinkle some chopped nuts or drizzle melted chocolate on top before chilling.
