Almond Joy Cookie Bars

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Almond Joy Cookie Bars.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C).

2. Step 2

   While it warms up, grab a 9x13-inch baking dish and give it a light spray with cooking spray to ensure your delicious creation doesn’t stick.

3. Step 3

   In a mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, melted butter, and egg.

4. Step 4

   Mix everything together until it forms a crumbly texture that’s well blended.

5. Step 5

   Now, take this mixture and press it evenly into the bottom of your prepared baking dish, creating a solid base for your bars.

6. Step 6

   Pop the dish into the oven and let it bake for about 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges of the crust start to turn a lovely golden brown.

7. Step 7

   While that’s baking, it’s time to work on the gooey filling.

8. Step 8

   Place the marshmallows in a microwave-safe bowl and heat them in the microwave for 20 to 40 seconds, stirring halfway through to ensure they melt evenly.

9. Step 9

   Once they’re nice and gooey, stir in the sweetened condensed milk, shredded coconut, and chopped almonds until everything is well combined.

10. Step 10

    Spread this delightful mixture evenly over your baked crust, making sure every bite will be packed with flavor.

11. Step 11

    Next, grab another microwave-safe bowl and combine the butterscotch chips and chocolate chips.

12. Step 12

    Heat this mixture in the microwave, stirring every 20 to 30 seconds until it’s melted and smooth—this should take about a minute.

13. Step 13

    Once melted, spread the luscious chocolate mixture evenly over the coconut filling, creating a rich layer of sweetness.

14. Step 14

    Now, it’s time for a little patience! Refrigerate the bars for at least 30 minutes, allowing the chocolate to harden and set perfectly.

15. Step 15

    Once they’re ready, cut them into squares and enjoy every delicious bite of your homemade treat!.
