You heard that right. Them layers of deliciousness. These Bars are insanely delicious and you will not want to share them with anyone!
A Layer of Soft Oat Brownies. topped with Date Almond butter Caramel and then with Chocolate chip cookie dough with almond butter. Bake, cool, slice and eat up!
The cookie will be crisp on the outside and fudgy inside. Desserts are better when they are all stacked on top of each other. Aren’t they?

On a happy note, if you do not know about Esther the Wonder Pig. Well now you do.
I happened upon these hard hitting pictures of waste yesterday. Cell phones, cars, glass bottles, plastic. e-waste, chargers, circuit boards. So so many of them. I also remembered this post by Andrea about how much plastic we use unconsciously. Another friend of mine refuses to use most processed and packaged food unless it is packaged in bio-degradable or entirely recyclable options. So out go the cartons, and packaging for a lot of things.
A smaller carton, packet or wrapper sure is convenient, but as it gets smaller and smaller, it produces more and more waste. I have spoken about Midway documentary before, Here is the video about a devastating environmental tragedy on a remote, Midway island in the Pacific. There are vast collections of plastic suspended in the sea, and thousands of baby albatrosses (birds) die as their parents feed them plastic caps, rings and pieces.
There are no clear answers and most times it feels like not enough solutions. Till there is a better solution, let us start with Reduce and reuse. Reduce the amount we use, and use re-usable options.
Steps:
Make the brownie batter and pres sit in the pan.
Blend the dates and spread the date caramel evenly on top.
Make the cookie dough and press down on top.
Bake until golden. Cool, slice and serve.

April 2, 2014 at 7:52 pmthey look glorious! They are almost sinful, the way they beg to be eaten!
June says
April 2, 2014 at 10:15 pmAwesome! Think I’ll make these for a nice weeknight treat. Just a question…is the resulting brownie more cake-like or fudge-like? I like them either way, but I was wondering since the picture makes them appear more cake-like.
Richa says
April 2, 2014 at 10:18 pmit is fudgy when right out the oven. it becomes cake like as it cools as it keeps baking. for a fudgier version, add more chocolate in the wet ingredients.

meo says
April 14, 2014 at 1:32 pmWow, these were AMAZING. I made them yesterday and my fiancé ate 4 bars already. FOUR!
The date caramel was incredible, but are you supposed to use the entire recipe? I did and then cooked the bars for 28 minutes, but the center was so thick that they are still really gooey. The cookie and brownie layers are both cooked through. They still are delicious, but did I do something wrong?
Richa says
April 14, 2014 at 5:39 pmAwesome! It will be a bit gooey. you cna abke them 3-4 mins longer so it sets further. some of the bar pictures are form the next day after refrigeration. that sets the caramel too. or use half the quantity and drizzle the rest on the bars before serving 🙂

November 12, 2016 at 6:20 pmcould you use any brownie recipe? I’m thinking of using a brownie batter recipe that is a little simpler.
