These Coconut Butterscotch Chocolate Chip Gooey Bars are sure to be a hit! So much flavor in one bite! Perfect for potlucks, picnics, road trips and more!
This past week my sister flew out to California from Virginia to spend the week with us. Well, spend the week with us AND go to Disneyland. Sometimes a little bribery goes a long way.
We had an incredible vacation and created memories that will keep us going until we can fly her out again. Yesterday was the last day of her stay with us and Reece and Bryce were sniffling in the car on the way back from the airport. It’s hard for all of us to not be close to Ashley and her husband but it sure makes us cherish the time we do get to spend together.
As you can imagine, we did a heck of a lot of eating at Disneyland. A LOT. But, in an effort to cut costs, I like to pack snacks and treats so we’re not having to stop every 10 minutes to buy something for my hungry little guys.

5 SECRETS TO GETTING DINNER ON THE TABLE...FAST!
These bars were a HUGE hit with everyone and I know you and your family will love them too.
I am a huge fan of butterscotch and together with coconut and chocolate it’s something truly magical. The bars are made with a layer of sweetened condensed milk in the center creating a fabulously gooey center that is truly irresistible.
The cookie part of these bars includes oats which adds a ton of texture and overall chewiness to the bars and also makes them quite filling. Perfect for an on-the-go treat.
I truly hope you are creating wonderful memories with your family this summer. And if you’ve got a road trip coming up, make some of these bars, you won’t regret it!
