Chippy Chewy Bars. They. Are. Decadent! It's got a graham cracker base, a layer of peanut butter chips, coconut, & sweetened condensed milk, and a chocolate drizzle on top. Also, when a recipe starts out with melted butter you know it's a good one. Am I right?!?

Are you ready for a bar recipe that is full of great flavors and is sure to satisfy your sweet tooth? I've got a delicious one for you today!!
I love a good bar recipe because they're easy to make and easy to transport. And, I usually have all the ingredients in my pantry. Double win!
The base of these Chippy Chewy Bars is crushed graham crackers. You can buy a box of graham cracker crumbs, but I like to save a buck so I buy them whole and crush them myself.
On top of the graham cracker crumbs are peanut butter chips, followed by flaked coconut, then another layer of peanut butter chips. A can of sweetened condensed milk is poured over all those yummy ingredients and then it bakes in a 350 degree oven for 20 minutes or until lightly browned.
These already decadent bars get a final touch with a drizzle of chocolate over the top. Yumm!!!
I wish I could personally share these with you, but, unfortunately that's not going to happen. So, you're going to have to whip these up yourself to find out how yummy they are.
Enjoy!!!
