These bars are a mint twist on the classic Seven Layer Bars many grew up with! Made with Ghirardelli Mint Chocolates, Andes Mints, and Mint Oreos on a chocolate chip cookie base. White chocolate chips, chocolate chunks, and a layer of sweetened condensed milk that caramelizes as it bakes provide a true Magic Bar experience!

Ingredients
16ouncesrefrigerated chocolate chip cookie dough
16Mint Oreosdivided and coarsely chopped
1cupchocolate chunksdivided
14Andes Mintscoarsely chopped
14ouncessweetened condensed milk
10Ghirardelli Mint Chocolates
½cupwhite chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350F and line a 9x13-inch baking pan with nonstick foil or parchment paper and spray with cooking spray; set aside.
Press the refrigerated cookie dough* into the bottom of the pan evenly and bake for 15 minutes.
Remove from the oven and add half of the chopped Mint Oreos, ½ cup of the chocolate chunks, and all the chopped Andes Mints on top of the cookie base layer.
Evenly drizzle the sweetened condensed milk over the top; it does not have to perfectly cover.
Add the remaining Oreos and chocolate chunks, add all of the Ghirardelli Mint Chocolates, all the white chocolate chips, and bake for an additional 25 minutes, or until the condensed milk is a light caramel color.
Allow the bars to cool in the pan for at least 2 hours** before removing and slicing. Bars will keep airtight at room temp for up to 1 week and in the freezer for up to 3 months.
Notes
I prefer using the flat packages of refrigerated cookie dough for this recipe, rather than the tubes of dough, since it’s easier to smoosh the flat packages but technically either will work. If you don’t have refrigerated cookie dough in your area, you could try making a half batch of my Best Soft and Chewy Cookies recipe and trying that. However, I haven’t personally tested this recipe this way.**Mint magic bars will be very gooey immediately after removing them from the oven so I recommend giving them about 2 hours to cool before slicing into them. If you’re in a hurry, you could try speeding this process up by placing them in the refrigerator for an hour.
