Dark Chocolate Peppermint Mud Hen Bars Recipe
Dark Chocolate Peppermint Mud Hen Bars Recipe for the Christmas Holidays
So what does a Mud Hen Bar taste like? It’s like taking a gooey-yummy roasted marshmallow and puting it between two soft and chewy, chocolate chip cookies. Now imagine for a moment, taking dark chocolate Dove peppermint candies and using them instead of chocolate chips…HEAVEN!
These bars are a great dessert to add to your holiday cookie platter. They are easier to make than your traditional chocolate chip cookie because you cook them in a casserole dish and cut them in to bars–you get to avoid all that scooping and baking in individual batches.
I took these over to a friends house last night, and they requested the recipe, so I decided I would do it as a post. Hope you enjoy my version of Mud Hen Bars this Holiday Season!
