Ingredients:
- 1 box (9 oz / 255 g) Thin Mint Cookies, finely crushed
- 6 Tbsp (85 g / 90 ml) Unsalted Butter, melted
- 1 cup (175 g) Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
- 1 cup (80 g) Flaked Sweetened Coconut, lightly toasted
- 1 cup (150 g) Samoas / Caramel deLites Cookies, roughly chopped
- 1/2 cup (75 g) Mini Peanut Butter Cups (such as Reese’s Minis), chopped
- 1 can (14 oz / 400 g) Sweetened Condensed Milk (full-fat)
- 1/4 tsp Sea Salt Flakes (optional, for garnish)
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9x13 inch baking pan entirely with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the two long sides to create a sling.
- In a large bowl, combine the finely crushed Thin Mint cookies and the melted butter. Stir until the mixture resembles wet sand.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared pan. Press the crust firmly and evenly into the bottom of the pan using the bottom of a glass or a flat measuring cup.
- Sprinkle the semi-sweet chocolate chips evenly over the pressed crust.
- Follow with the toasted coconut, the roughly chopped Samoas/Caramel deLites cookies, and the chopped mini peanut butter cups, ensuring the pieces are distributed as evenly as possible.
- Slowly and evenly pour the entire can of sweetened condensed milk over the layered ingredients. Ensure the milk covers the entire surface right to the edges.
- Place the pan into the preheated oven. Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the edges are nicely golden brown and the centre is set (it should not jiggle when nudged).
- Carefully remove the pan from the oven. If using, immediately sprinkle the surface lightly with sea salt flakes for flavour contrast.
- Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack for at least 2 hours. Do not attempt to cut while warm.
- Once completely cool and firm, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the entire slab out of the pan. Place on a cutting board and slice into 12 or 16 squares using a sharp, heavy knife.
