Dookie Bars

ingredients:

• 36 ounces chocolate baking melts or chocolate candy coating for pretzels, etc.
• 30 ounces semisweet chocolate chips
• 20 ounces good quality dark chocolate
• 1 teaspoon coconut oil
• 18 ounces peanut butter smooth or chunky
• 48 ounces  Special K Cereal
• 18 ounces coats
• 1 tablespoon espresso powder

instructions:

How to cook Dookie Bars

1. Combine the chocolates in a heat proof microwavable bowl.
2. Heat for 3 minutes on high in the microwave. Stir and then heat again in 15 second intervals, stirring between each until the chocolates are melted and combined.
3. Add in the peanut butter, coconut oil, and espresso powder and stir until combined.
4. Add in the oats and Special K cereal and blend.
5. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
6. Scoop out chocolate mixture onto the pans and spread evenly across the pans. The originals were the thickness of a deck of cards. I prefer them thinner...about half that.
7. Refrigerate until cooled and firm. Cut into bars and store in freezer or fridge.

NOTES:

Dookie BARS were a favorite treat in our Portales Junior High snack bar. The legendary bars can now be made at home!
