Sugar Cookie Party Squares

Put Krusteaz's new Molten Deep Dish Cookie mix to use and whip up these sugar cookie bars that have a layer of chocolate and are peppered with sprinkles.

Y'all!  Run to the store immediately and grab the Krusteaz Molten Deep Dish Sugar Cookie Mix so you can make these right now.  After Krusteaz sent me a sampling of these new Molten Deep Dish cookie mixes to review, I decided on my own to use one for creating a new cookie bar recipe.

Best.decision.ever.

Wanting to keep it simple and fun, I kept the steps and ingredients to a minimum.  In order to get Judah interested in making these with me, I pulled out the most alluring ingredients to kids -- sprinkles and M&M's!  He was quickly engaged!  🙂

I followed the directions on the box to mix up the ingredients, then stirred in the colorful sprinkles.  Instead of scooping 24 dough balls, I took half of the dough and pressed it into an 8x8-inch baking pan.  Then I spread the chocolate molten mix over top of that and sprinkled a layer of mini M&M's.  To top it off, I crumbled the rest of the dough over the M&M's.

These baked up beautifully and ended up as one of my favorite cookie bar desserts!  The Krusteaz cookie mix made this super simple and quick to put together.  The molten chocolate packet provided in the box added a wonderful surprise in the middle of each square.

Ben couldn't believe how much he liked these.  I couldn't believe how much I liked them!  And...Judah?  Well, he knew they would be great from the beginning.  😉

With school back in session, these are a great option for when you need to send your kiddo with a treat to share. Want to win a set of the entire Molten Cookie Line?  Krusteaz is letting me give a set away to one of my lucky readers!  Woot woot!  See below the recipe for the giveaway entry form.

Ingredients

• 1 box Krusteaz Molten Deep Dish Sugar Cookie Mix
• 1 egg
• 1/3 cup butter , slightly melted

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease an 8x8-inch baking pan with nonstick spray.
