Chocolate Berried treasure bars

One of my good friends is coming over tomorrow for lunch and I decided to make sauteed tilapia with a sour cream dill sauce and that yummy pesto bread but wanted to have something fun for dessert - so I found this great recipe. I hope you enjoy it.

Chocolate Berried Treasure Bars
  • 2 cups chocolate graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter
  • 1 cup plain granola cereal
  • 1 2/3 cups (10-oz. pkg.) Dark Chocolate Morsels, divided
  • 1 1/3 cups (6-oz. pkg.) dried cranberries, blueberries and/or cherries - I used the dried triple berries from Trader Joe's.
  • 1 cup sliced almonds, toasted
  • 1 can (14 oz.) Sweetened Condensed Milk

  1. Preheat oven to 350ยบ F.
  2. Melt butter in 13 x 9-inch baking pan in oven; remove from oven. Sprinkle graham cracker crumbs over butter. Stir well; press onto bottom of pan.
  3. Layer granola, 1 1/4 cups morsels, dried fruit and almonds over graham cracker crust. Drizzle sweetened condensed milk over almonds.
  4. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until browned and bubbly around edge. Cool completely in pan on wire rack.
  5. Microwave remaining morsels in small, heavy-duty plastic bag on HIGH (100% power) for 30 to 45 seconds; knead. Cut tiny corner from bag and squeeze to drizzle over top of bar. Refrigerate for 5 to 10 minutes or until chocolate is form. Cut into bars.
These pictures are the graham cracker and first few ingredients then after the sweet and condensed milk. I will take another picture after it is done. I hope it is as good as it sounds!
