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!
