These bars are a mint twist on the classic Seven Layer Bars many grew up with, sometimes known as Hello Dolly Bars. This chocolate and mint version is made with Ghirardelli mint chocolates, Andes Mints, and Mint Oreos on a chocolate chip cookie base. Additionally, there are white chocolate chips, chocolate chunks, and a layer of sweetened condensed milk that caramelizes as it bakes for a true magic bar experience. The bars taste like a cross between Oreo mint cookies and Andes mint chocolate chip cookies.  These magic bars, as is the case with all magic bar varieties, are fast, easy, and you don’t need to use a mixer!

To make the chocolate chip Oreo mint cookies, you’ll need: 

Refrigerated chocolate chip cookie dough Mint Oreos Chocolate chunks, divided Andes Mints Sweetened condensed milk Ghirardelli Mint Chocolates White chocolate chips

How to Make Chocolate Mint Magic Bars

This is such a super easy recipe that you won’t believe how fast it comes together! Here’s how the chocolate chip Oreo cookie bars come together: 

I prefer using the flat packages of refrigerated cookie dough for this recipe, rather than the tubes of dough, since it’s easier to smoosh the flat packages but technically either will work.

Of course! If you don’t have refrigerated cookie dough in your area, you could try making a half batch of my Soft and Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies recipe and trying that. However, I haven’t personally tested this recipe this way.

Can I Use Another Type of Chocolate? 

Regarding the various types of chocolate used, such as the Andes Mints and Ghirardelli Mint Chocolates, if you don’t have them in your area or can’t find them, you can substitute with another brand of mint chocolate. Or simply use another type of plain chocolate bar, noting that if you do so, these definitely will not have as much minty flavor.

Can I Use Regular Oreos Instead of Mint? 

Regular Oreos can be substituted for Mint Oreos as well, if again, you can’t find them in your area.

The loaded mint Oreo mint cookie bars will be very gooey immediately after removing them from the oven so I recommend giving them about 2 hours to cool before slicing into them. If you’re in a hurry, you could try speeding this process up by placing them in the refrigerator for an hour. If desired, you could easily split this recipe in half and bake it in an 8×8-inch or 9×9-inch pan. Note that the bake time might need to be altered.
