Delicious chocolate cookie bars that require no baking, perfect for a quick dessert.
Ingredients
Scale
- 12.3 oz (350g) of cookies, crushed
- 1 cup (3 oz / 85g) finely chopped peanuts
- ½ cup (3 oz / 85g) plain sugar
- 1 packet of vanilla-flavored sugar (10g), optional
- ½ cup (1.6 oz / 45g) cocoa powder
- ¾ cup (6 fl oz / 180ml) heavy cream
- ½ cup (3.9 oz / 110g) softened butter
- 90g (3.2 oz) milk chocolate
- 30g (1 oz) dark chocolate
- 2 tablespoons (1 oz / 30g) vegetable oil
- ¾ cup (2.5 oz / 70g) crushed peanuts for sprinkling
Instructions
- Pulverize your cookies into a crumb-like texture using a food processor. Toss the crumbs into a big mixing bowl, add ground peanuts, sugar, optional vanilla sugar, and cocoa powder. Stir until well blended.
- On low heat, melt the butter in a small pan. Mix in sweet cream until smooth. Pour this creamy mixture over the cookie mix and stir until it clumps together when pressed. Adjust texture with more cream or crushed cookies as needed.
- Cover a 9×13-inch rectangular pan with parchment paper. Press the cookie mixture firmly and evenly into it. Chill in the fridge for half an hour.
- In a heatproof bowl, combine milk and dark chocolate. Melt using steam heat or microwave, stirring to prevent burning. Add vegetable oil and stir until shiny and smooth.
- Spread melted chocolate on top of the chilled cookie layer using a spatula. Sprinkle crushed peanuts over the top immediately. Return to the fridge for at least an hour until firm.
- Once firm, lift out the dessert using the parchment paper. Slice into bars or squares with a sharp knife, wiping the knife between cuts for clean edges.
Notes
- Ensure the butter is fully melted for a smooth mixture.
- For a richer flavor, use high-quality chocolate.
- You can substitute peanut toppings with other nuts or ingredients as desired.
