- 1 pouch Betty Crocker sugar cookie mix (1lb 1.5oz)
- 1 C graham cracker crumbs
- 1 C butter, melted
- 3 C milk chocolate chips (approx 18 oz)
- 4 1/2 C miniature marshmallows
Heat oven to 375 degrees. In a large bowl, stir together the sugar cookie mix and graham crumbs. Stir in the melted butter until a soft dough forms. Press into an ungreased 9×13 pan.
Bake 18-20 minutes, until set. Immediately sprinkle the chips over the hot crust. Let stand 3 to 5 minutes or until chocolate begins to melt. Spread chocolate evenly over crust.
Set oven control to broil. Sprinkle marshmallows over melted chocolate. Broil 5 to 6 inches from heat for 20 to 30 seconds or until marshmallows are toasted. (Watch very closely…marshmallows will brown quickly). Cool for 10 minutes then cut 6 rows by 4 rows (24 servings). Serve warm. Store any remaining bars tightly covered.

- 1 pouch (1lb 1.5oz) Betty Crocker oatmeal chocolate chip cookie mix
- 1 pouch (1lb 1.5oz) Betty Crocker peanut butter cookie mix
- 1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup milk chocolate chips
- 1 cup candy-coated peanut butter pieces (aka Reese’s pieces)
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts, toasted if desired
Heat oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl stir cookie mixes, butter, and eggs until soft dough forms. Stir in the chocolate chips, Reese’s pieces, and walnuts.
On a large ungreased cookie sheet, drop dough by scant 1/4 cupfuls about 2 inches apart. (I flattened a bit because the first batch didn’t really spread out on its own). Bake 13 to 16 minutes (my cookies required 16 minutes) or until light golden brown.
Cool 1 to 2 minutes; remove from cookie sheet to cooling rack. Cool completely, about 30 minutes. Makes 36 cookies.
