Ingredients
- 1 package (14 oz) chocolate wafer cookies (or any plain cookies like graham crackers)
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
-
Crush the cookies: Start by crushing the cookies into small pieces. You can do this by placing them in a large resealable bag and using a rolling pin, or using a food processor for a finer crumb. Set aside.
-
Prepare the wet ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the cocoa powder, sweetened condensed milk, melted butter, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir until everything is well combined.
-
Mix the dry ingredients: Add the crushed cookies to the bowl with the wet ingredients and stir to combine. The mixture will be thick, but make sure all the cookies are coated with the chocolate mixture.
-
Form the cookies: Scoop out spoonfuls of the mixture and roll them into balls or press them into a parchment-lined dish to form bars. If you’re making bars, press the mixture evenly into the dish, about 1-inch thick.
-
Chill: Refrigerate the cookies or bars for about 1-2 hours or until they firm up.
-
Serve: Once set, remove from the fridge and enjoy! If you made bars, cut them into squares.
Notes
- If you’d like a bit of crunch, you can mix in chopped nuts or dried fruit, such as raisins or cranberries.
- These cookies can also be rolled in powdered sugar or cocoa powder before serving for an extra touch of sweetness and decoration.
- For a fun twist, try using different types of cookies, such as Oreos or vanilla wafer cookies.
