Sometimes when I don’t know what to write here I sit and stare at the computer.
Sit. Stare. Watch You Tube videos. Sit. Online shop. Stare. Online shop again.
But today, as my kitchen gets gutted, I felt the need to bake, but not bake, since I can’t bake.
Got that?
So I fake baked, but not fake-baked, because I don’t like to be orange.
I made cookie bars from cookies, that basically turned out like fudge, but isn’t fudge.
What is happening right now?
I think I might have inhaled too much Spackle dust.
Let’s not-bake, fake-bake, shape-shift cookies together, kay?
No Bake Cookie Bars. Made from Cookies.
Golden Oreo cookies, actually.
Crush them up…about 30 of them.
Then chop up some white chocolate…
And melt the white chocolate with sweetened condensed milk. You’ll have to resist the urge to stick your face in there…
Pour that all over your crushed cookies. Let it cool for a beat while you clean your face off, then add in some chocolate chips.
Spread that into your pan and cute it up with some mini chocolate chips. I mean, if you like cute.
That’s it.
Let it firm up.
That’s what she said.
Ugh.
Then eat, you dirty people.
Eat.

Every day you give me a chuckle! Thanks for that, and the great recipes!
Shelly, Your comments below photos made me laugh out loud!! You are too funny!! Recipes looks delicious. Thanks
Hi! I was just wondering if I could pour dulce de leche on top before sprinkling minichips? My friend’s a big fan of dulce de leche and cookie bars, and I was thinking of making this for him. 🙂
I don’t see why not!
Hiiii! Any alternatives for golden cookies? found this at BuzzFeed and I’m from manila and there’s nowhere I could find golden cookies 🙁
You could honestly use any sandwich type cookie! You could even use regular Oreos, vanilla sandwich cookies or peanut butter sandwich cookies!
I was laughing throughout the whole thing. They look delicious. Thanks for the recipe, I need it since I don’t have an oven!
Hi Shelly! I am new to your blog and am thoroughly enjoying every second of it! I was just wondering how far in advance these can be made (or how long they last being stored in an airtight container at room temperature or in the fridge). Let me know when you can. Thanhs in advance Shelly 🙂
You can make them up to 2 days ahead! And in an airtight container they will be good for up to 5 days!
you are a genius.
I made these today for Christmas and they are AMAZING! They are really rich so I cut them into smaller pieces. I think these are going to be a big hit!
I’m from the UK, and more often than not do I get really annoyed when I see a recipe and it has the American units because that means I spend AGES converting them…but ALL of your recipes are too damn good that I don’t mind at all!! They’re gorgeous; have just added them to my recipe file xx
hahaha!! thanks!
