Every several months I tend to have random baking ingredients in only small amounts taking up space in my pantry. This is when I make a layered bar cookie! The beauty of these is you can mix up all kinds of ingredients and there are endless possibilities. Here's what I made this time. I'll call them:
Almond Chocolate Cherry Bars
1/2 c. unsalted butter, melted
1 c. graham cracker crumbs
1 c. sliced almonds
1 c. semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 c. dried cherries
1 c. rolled oats
1 14-oz can sweetened condensed milk
Mix together melted butter and graham crumbs; press onto the bottom of a 9x9-inch cake pan. Mix together almonds, chocolate, cherries & oats; spread evenly over graham crust. Pour the condensed milk evenly over the top and bake at 350 for 30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown. Cool completely before cutting into bars.
*Any 3-4 cup combination of nuts, dried fruit, baking chips, coconut - really any cookie addition you can think of, can be used in the "filling". Just always use at least 1 cup of desired chocolate or baking chips.
* Easily doubled in a 9x13-inch pan!
