Valentines cookie bars<\/h3>\n

So, I couldn’t resist. Like, honestly, I couldn’t resist this one. I know I have posted ~quite~ a few Cookie Bar recipes now, but like, when I found these cute little White, Pink and Red heart shaped chocolate sweets in Tiger (flying tiger) I just couldn’t RESIST making Valentines Cookies.<\/p>\n

Cookie bars<\/h3>\n

But, as I am me, I wanted Cookie Bars… so they happened. It is basically the same recipe as my S\u2019mores Cookie Bars<\/a>, and my Mini Egg Cookie Bars<\/a>, but does that matter? Naaaahhh. Well, to some it might, but to me it doesn’t. Who doesn’t want more Cookie Bars?!<\/p>\n

But anyway, as its Valentines Day soon, I thought I would share another corker. This however, does serve 16 technically… unless you just fancy sharing half each (which you might, no judgement here), you might have a few spare.I just prefer the texture of the cookie bar when its made with these quantities, I feel like it changes a tad when you alter the recipe.<\/p>\n

Method<\/h3>\n

I really do think the whisking of the melted butter and sugars are quite a key to this recipe. I use my Kitchenaid with the whisk attachment for this bit, and it really does break down the sugars and help them dissolve. I then switch to my paddle attachment when adding in the dry ingredients and it forms a lovely super thick dough which you can push around with your hands.<\/p>\n

Chocolate<\/h3>\n

Sometimes because its so thick, it can be hard to push in the chocolatey additions to the cookie dough, but to be honest squishing it all together with your hands is the best. Smush it all in there and make sure the chocolates are even, and then you’ll have some of the best cookie bars you will have ever eaten.<\/p>\n

I did make my life easier by using the coloured chocolate sweets I found from tiger, but if you really don’t have to go through a few packets of M&M’s or Smarties to find the pinks and reds, you could try adding in some freeze dried raspberries or strawberries, or even some fresh raspberries! I just really am a fan of chocolate overload. Which you might have noticed already if you have been reading my blog for a while. I hope you love this recipe! X<\/p>\n
