Chewy bars packed with chocolate chips and green sprinkles, perfect for festive gatherings.

# What You Need:

→ Dry Ingredients

01 - 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
02 - 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
03 - 1/2 teaspoon salt

→ Wet Ingredients

04 - 1 cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
05 - 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
06 - 1/2 cup granulated sugar
07 - 2 large eggs
08 - 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

→ Add-ins and Toppings

09 - 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
10 - 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
11 - 1/4 cup green sprinkles or sanding sugar
12 - 1/2 cup green chocolate candies, optional
13 - Clover-shaped sprinkles for decoration, optional

# How-To Steps:

01 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 9x13 inch baking pan with parchment paper, allowing excess to hang over edges for easy removal.
02 - In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt until evenly distributed.
03 - In a large bowl, whisk the melted butter with brown sugar and granulated sugar until smooth and fully combined.
04 - Add eggs and vanilla extract to the wet mixture, whisking until well incorporated and smooth.
05 - Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
06 - Gently fold in semi-sweet chocolate chips, white chocolate chips, and half of the green sprinkles plus green candies if using.
07 - Spread dough evenly into the prepared pan and sprinkle remaining green sprinkles, green candies, and clover-shaped sprinkles across the top.
08 - Bake for 23 to 26 minutes until the bars are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
09 - Allow bars to cool completely in the pan before lifting out using parchment overhang and cutting into 16 equal bars.

# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • They're impossibly chewy in the middle and just slightly crispy on the edges—basically the texture lottery every cookie lover dreams of.
  • Green sprinkles do the decorating for you, so there's zero stress about making them look festive.
  • They come together in under an hour, which means you can go from "I have nothing" to "I made dessert" faster than you'd think.
02 -
  • Don't overbake these—the moment they look done, they're actually perfect and will firm up as they cool, becoming dangerously chewy instead of cake-like.
  • If you cut into warm bars, they'll shatter; if you cut when completely cooled, they slice like butter, so patience here is the secret ingredient.
03 -
  • Buy your chocolate chips a day early and chill them in the fridge—they'll hold their shape better in the batter instead of melting and creating brown streaks.
  • If you don't have green sprinkles, crushed green-tinted hard candies or a sprinkle of matcha powder will make them look festive while adding flavor you won't expect.
