Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- Press cookie dough into the bottom of a square baking pan (8"x8" or 9"x9").
- Bake at 350°F for about 15 minutes or until the surface looks dry and starts turning golden brown.
- Start melting corn syrup, butter, and peanut butter chips over medium heat.
- Remove the cookies from the oven and sprinkle marshmallows on top of the cookie layer.
- Put the pan back in the oven for 5 minutes until the marshmallows puff up.
- Add popped popcorn to the warm, melted peanut butter mixture and stir until well combined.
- Press the popcorn mixture onto the marshmallow layer.
- Drizzle melted semisweet chocolate chips over the top.
- Cool for several hours before cutting and serving.
Serving
- Cut bars into squares or rectangles after they are fully chilled.
- Serve at room temperature so the chocolate drizzle is firm but the interior remains slightly tender.
Storage Tips
- Store bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- If your kitchen is warm, keep them in the refrigerator to prevent the chocolate from softening. They will last 5–7 days chilled.
- For longer storage, freeze bars in a single layer on a baking sheet until solid, then stack with parchment between layers in a sealed container for up to 2 months.
Notes
Use refrigerated chocolate chip cookies for easier assembly. Watch the oven closely to avoid overbaking.
