Recipe Box, Beach Bum Cookie Bars
I call these Beach Bum Cookie Bars because I always make these
when I’m at the beach house~
They’re quick and easy to make
so I don’t have to spend much time in the kitchen!
7 ingredients, butterscotch, white & milk chocolate chips,
cashews, sweetened condensed milk,
almond or rum extract and crescent roll dough
I used a can of the Grands crescent roll dough,
which are bigger than regular crescent rolls
so I only needed 6 to make the crust
Place the dough in the bottom of a greased 9″ x 13″ baking dish
Bake the dough for 6-8 minutes until it begins to turn golden
Top with the 3 flavored chips
Top chips with the cashews
Mix almond or rum extract into the sweetened condensed milk
for another layer of flavor and pour it slowly over all
Bake for 20-25 minutes until top is set
and edges are beginning to brown
Place dish on a rack to cool
When dish has cooled enough to handle,
slice the dough into bars or squares while it is still warm
Then you can place dish in the refrigerator to firm up more if desired,
or just continue to cool on the counter
When cookies are completely cool
take them out of the pan with a spatula
and store covered at room temperature
I like to store them in a cake dome where they stay fresh
and are easy for people to help themselves
A sweet and salty treat!

Thanks Emily, so easy and so good!
These look really delicious and easy — definitely a fun thing to have around in the summer. Happy beaching!
Thanks Jeanie, so easy!
This looks delicious – can’t wait to try it! I was thinking of trying it with 2c milk chocolate + the butterscotch with no white chocolate. Do you think that combination would work? Thanks so much! Patty
For sure Patty! Enjoy!
I don’t know how I feel about the crescent rolls as a base, because crescent rolls, in my experience, tend to be a bit spongy, and I am a crisp cookie person. That said, the toppings look amazing, and I have a pantry full of stuff like this. I may just try this myself with a shortbread crust. Thanks for the inspiration!
A shortbread crust would be delicious, Pattie, as would a graham cracker crust~ the crescent roll dough is a shortcut time saver and it actually works really well~
I can’t wait to try this. I’m curious about how a crescent roll cookie would taste. I’m thinking delicious!
Thank you! With all the other flavors going on, you don’t really even notice the crescent roll base~
Yum! These sound wonderful. Visiting from the Love Your Creativity linkup.
Thank you, so easy!
Oh wow; those sound incredible!! I am definitely going to have to try making these.
Thank you Joanne, a tried and true favorite!
Pinned! I have to make these! So EASY! Thanks for sharing at the What’s for Dinner party.
Thank you, a tried and true favorite!
Mmmm I like the sound of these beach bum bars, Jenna, and so easy!
Thank you Kitty, they are a long time favorite, and so easy to make!
I am SO making these Beach Bum Cookie Bars. I used to make the similar 7 layer bars and had forgotten about them. But with the 4th on the way, this sounds like a wonderful easy peasy snack. Jenna, you’re a keeper!–and an “influencer”–I have even started an art journal and am using your tutelage and art as my inspiration. Georgia Gal
Thanks Georgia Gal, these cookies are my go to, so easy and everybody loves them! I am so glad you started an art journal, happy creating!
wow Jenna, these treats look delicious. Love the cute name. Easy peasy and yummy.
Thanks Linda, my family loves them!
