Chocolate Bar Cookies

Chocolate Bar Cookies are sure to be a big hit with a crowd. You’ll make 14-15 cookies with one box of brownie mix, so double the recipe if needed.

If you only have one or two types of chocolate bars when you’re making these cookies, that’s okay! Just use what you have.

Chocolate Bar Cookies are also great cookies to make with candy left over from holidays such as Christmas, Easter, Halloween, and Valentine’s Day!

Grab all of your leftover candy and make these Candy Bar Cookies with whatever you have!

Then, create cookie dough balls using a cookie scoop. Space them about 1″ apart and bake for 8-9 minutes.

Candy Bar Brownie Cookies baked and cooling

Once the cookies have baked, remove them from the oven. Immediately use a cookie cutter to make all the cookies perfect circles and the same size. Let the cookies cool completely on the baking sheet.

Then while the cookies are cooling, prep and chop up all the candy bars.

Time to decorate these cookies! Spoon about 1-2 teaspoons of caramel sauce on top and spread around. (You have to work quickly here – I decorated about 2-3 cookies at a time.)

Candy Bar Brownie Cookies topped with chopped candy bars

Add about 5-6 pieces of chopped up candy on top of each cookie and sprinkle with toffee pieces.

How to store Candy Bar Cookies

Candy Bar Cookies can be stored at room temperature for 4-5 days in an airtight container.

These cookies are also easy to freeze (see below), so you can make a few at a time and freeze the rest.

Can Candy Bar Cookies be frozen? 

Yes! Freeze the Candy Bar Cookies Brownie Mix cookie dough balls in an airtight container for up to 3 months.

Make the brownie mix according to the directions and then when you scoop the batter, place it on a piece of parchment paper until you’re ready to bag them up for the freezer!

If you want to make one or two Candy Bar Brownie Mix Cookies at a time after they have been frozen, just heat 1-2 caramel squares per cookie or 1-2 teaspoons of caramel bits. Add a little water and heat in 15 second increments.

Can I use caramel squares instead of caramel bits in baking?

Yes! You can use the caramel squares! You may want to add just a little water at a time until you know how the caramel will melt.

The water helps the caramel not get too hard after setting.

Can you use bar chocolate for Candy Bar Brownie Mix Cookies?

I prefer to use Candy Bars like Snicker, Kit Kat Bars, and Twix. It’s a little softer than like a Hershey’s bar. But you could totally use a Hershey’s bar if you prefer. Just use what you have and make it your own!

Do you add the candy bars before or after you bake the cookies?

After! If you try to add them before baking, they will melt and spread all over. Wait until the cookies have cooled before adding the chopped chocolate bars.

This will help the chocolate to hold its shape and flavor and also prevent the chocolate from melting.
