Oatmeal Chocolate Chunk Cookie Bars

A classic cookie, reimagined.
Casey from The Mindful Hapa has created a new treat that's packed with flavor and perfect for summer. Gluten-free, and great for sharing, these Oatmeal Chocolate Chunk Cookie Bars are enhanced by flavor notes of roasted nuts and caramel in our creamy Pure Milk 45% Chocolate bar.
“Just 8 ingredients for these gluten free Oatmeal Chocolate Chunk Cookie Bars that are fudgy, ooey-gooey perfection and made with my favorite milk chocolate from Theo Chocolate. I love that theirs has a higher cocoa percentage (45%) than conventional milk chocolate (10-20%) which means more chocolate flavor, but still all the creamy deliciousness you’re used to in milk chocolate.”
