It’s always a pleasure partnering with Karo® Syrup to bring you a festive treat that is sure to be the star of the dessert table! I was inspired by Karo’s Chocolate Peanut Butter Bites recipe, and added my own touch to it!
The texture Karo® Syrup brings to your baking is like no other. It’s always stocked in my pantry for all of my Holiday baking and I think you’ll find it’s a key ingredient to have around whenever you’re baking. The Holidays are THEE perfect time to show friends and family how much you care, so make sure to bake a little extra so everyone can enjoy these yummy treats!
Start by adding your softened butter and brown sugar to a large mixing bowl.
Add your Karo® Dark Corn Syrup.
Add 2 eggs, vanilla, and stir until well combined.
Add your dry ingredients and give a good stir until dough forms.
Transfer dough to parchment lined baking dish and bake for 25 minutes, or until baked through. Remove and let cool.
Once your bars are cool, frost with a thin layer of chocolate frosting and top with crushed candy cane pieces and marshmallow bits.
Wait until you sink your teeth into these chewy chocolate cookie bars. Perfection!
Enjoy!
