OOEY GOOEY BARS RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F.
• Over low heat, melt 2 sticks of butter in a light-colored pan. Gently swirl the pan every minute until the butter turns a light golden brown. This takes 5 - 10 minutes total. Allow to cool for 5 minutes.
• On medium speed, beat together the melted butter and sugars. Add in the peanut butter and mix well. Next, add the eggs and vanilla. Finally, add the flour, creating a small well for the baking soda, baking powder, and salt (this saves you a bowl! Holla!) Slowly mix in until well incorporated, then fold in the chocolate chips and peanut butter cups. In a small bowl, combine filling ingredients.
• Place a sheet of parchment paper in a 13x9 inch baking dish. Spread half the cookie dough over the bottom in an even layer. Pour the filling over the top, then dot the top with the rest of the cookie dough.
• Bake for 30 - 35 minutes until golden brown in color. Allow to cool for an hour before cutting.

OOEY GOOEY CHESS BARS

Steps:

• Set your oven to 350.
• Grease a 13 x 9 pan.
• With mixer, mix yellow cake mix, melted butter and 1 egg. Press into pan.
• Next, beat cream cheese until creamy (takes a few seconds), add confectioners' sugar and two eggs and mix until well blended. Fold in peanut butter chips and ½ cup heath bar bits. Pour all this over yellow cake mixture. Sprinkle the rest of the heath bar bits on top and bake for 45 minutes. You can garnish with confectioners' sugar.

Steps:

• Prepare your pan: Heat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line the bottom of a 9-by-13-inch baking tray (a quarter sheet pan or cake pan is fine) with parchment paper (if using a cake pan, hang the parchment over the sides so the bars are easier to remove). Lightly coat the sides with nonstick spray.
• Make the crust: Combine the flour, salt and sugar in the bowl of a food processor. Cut the butter into chunks, and add it to the bowl, then run the machine until the mixture forms large clumps?that's right, just keep running it; it might take another 30 seconds for it to come together, but it will. Transfer the dough clumps to the prepared baking pan and press them evenly across the bottom and 1/4 inch up the sides. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until very pale golden.
• Meanwhile, prepare the filling: Melt your butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Continue to cook the butter, stirring frequently, until golden brown bits form at the bottom, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the sugars and salt. Let cool for 5 to 10 minutes, then whisk in the eggs, one at a time, and the vanilla, and stir in the oats, coconut, and chocolate, fruit, and/or candy.
• Pour over the parbaked crust, spreading evenly.
• Bake the bars: Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until the top is firm and golden and the bars are set or, at most, barely jiggle if shimmied. The bars are much easier to cut cleanly from the fridge, but they are gooiest when warm. Dust with powdered sugar before serving or selling for the prettiest finish.
• Do ahead: Store at room temperature for up to 2 days, or in the fridge for longer.

GOOEY BARS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13 inch pan.
• In a large bowl, mix together the cake mix, melted butter and 1 egg until smooth. Batter will be thick. Spread evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan. Next, sprinkle the chocolate chips over the layer of dough. Finally, beat the cream cheese, 2 eggs and confectioners' sugar together in a medium bowl until smooth. Pour as evenly as you can over the chocolate chips.
• Bake for 35 to 40 minutes in the preheated oven, until the top is set. Let cool for at least 30 minutes before cutting into bars.

OOEY GOOEY PINEAPPLE BARS

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 350 degree F. Spray a 9 x 13 baking pan or dish with nonstick cooking spray.
• 2. In a medium bowl, mix the flour, confectioners' sugar and butter until crumbly.
• 3. Press into prepared baking pan, evenly with fingers. Bake for 10 minutes. Set aside.
• 4. In the same bowl; beat the eggs with a wire whisk until blended. Add the remaining filling ingredients, mix until well blended.
• 5. Pour and spread over crust evenly.
• 6. Bake for 35 - 40 minutes or until golden. Cool completely on cooling rack.
• 7. Glaze: In a small bowl, mix frosting ingredients until smooth. You can thin it out with more pineapple juice if you want it to be more like a glaze and not as thick as a frosting. Glaze the bars and sprinkle with coconut. I have also toasted the coconut for these bars. Great either way.
• 8. Enjoy!! They sure are yummy!
