FOURtune bars

This weekend, I went up to Penn State for the PSU vs Temple football game.

We had a HUGE tailgate and it was just so so fun!
And I also got to see my sister which was awesome because I missed her a lot :)

But anyway, like any baker, I saw the tailgate as an opportunity to bake.
I'd been eyeing up these Chubby Hubby bars from Shugary Sweets for a while now, so I decided to put my own little spin on it...

And these were born






They were actually deadly.
So rich.
So, so rich.
But soo sooo good.


Well, I guess I knew what I was getting myself into when I put together cookies, chocolate fudge, peanut butter, and oreos...


Ingredients:

first layer: cookie
3/4 Cup oil
2 tbsp milk
1 1/4 cup brown sugar
1 egg
1 1/2 cup flour
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1/2 tsp salt
3/4 tsp baking soda

second layer: chocolate
1 14 oz can of condensed milk
1 (11.5 oz) bag milk chocolate chips
2 tbsp butter

third layer: peanut butter
1/3 cup peanut butter

fourth layer: oreos
10-12 peanut butter oreos



Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 375.
  2. Beat oil, milk, and brown sugar in a large mixing bowl until combined. 
  3. Add egg and beat until combined
  4. Add flour, salt, and baking soda and beat into a batter.
  5. Press into a pan and bake for 18-20 minutes
  6. While the cookie base is baking, heat condensed milk and 2 tbsp of butter in a large saucepan.
  7. Add milk chocolate and whisk constantly until it's ready to be poured in.
  8. Take cookie base out of oven and pour chocolate mixture over. Spread the chocolate smooth.
  9. Melt peanut butter in microwave and pour over chocolate. 
  10. Crush oreos and pour over entire pan.

Enjoy, and most likely, gain a few pounds ;)
