Ingredients
  

  • Graham Cracker Layer:
  • 2 c. graham cracker crumbs
  • 1 Tbsp. sugar
  • 5 Tbsp. butter melted
  • 1/2 can 7 oz. SWEETENED condensed milk
  • Cookie Dough Layer:
  • 3/4 c. butter softened
  • 1/4 c. granulated sugar
  • 3/4 c. brown sugar
  • 1 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 1/4 c. all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp. baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1 1/4 c. mini Cadbury eggs your favorite chocolate candy, or chocolate chips

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a 9x13" pan with parchment paper so it hangs over the sides.
  • Stir together graham cracker crumbs, 1 Tbsp. sugar and 5 Tbsp. melted butter in a bowl and press into prepared parchment-lined pan.
  • Pour 1/2 can sweetened condensed milk over graham cracker layer and place in the oven to bake for 7 minutes. While that is baking and then cooling a little bit, make the cookie layer.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer, cream together softened butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, vanilla and eggs. In a separate bowl, stir together flour, baking soda and salt. Add dry mixture to the wet mixture and mix until incorporated.
  • The graham cracker crust will break up if you try to spread or press the cookie dough portion on top, so instead, take chunks of the cookie dough and press them flat in your hands, then carefully lay them on the top of the graham cracker layer, piecing them together as best you can, until all the dough is gone.
  • Press chocolate candies into the dough on top and return the pan to the oven to bake for approximately 13-15 minutes, or just until done (the edges will be barely starting to turn slightly golden in color.) Be careful not to over bake!
  • Let cool completely, slice and serve. Enjoy!
