Preparation Time: 7 minutes
Cooking Time: 5 minutes
Total Time: 12 minutes
Yield: 12 pieces or more

Ingredients:

• 8 oz semi-sweet chocolate
• 1/2 cup butter
• 1 cup crumbled cookies
• 3/4 cup chopped nuts

Instructions:

1. Melt the Chocolate and Butter:

   • Begin by partially melting the chocolate and butter together. You have two options: microwave or double boiler.
   • If using a microwave, place the chocolate and butter in a microwave-safe bowl and heat on medium for 3 minutes, stirring every minute until smooth and fully melted.
   • Alternatively, you can melt the chocolate and butter over a double boiler, ensuring gentle heat until they melt into a smooth mixture.

2. Add Cookies and Nuts:

   • Once the chocolate and butter are melted and smooth, stir in the crumbled cookies and chopped nuts until they are evenly coated with the chocolate mixture. This will add a delightful crunch and texture to your squares.

3. Prepare the Pan:

   • Line an 8-inch square baking pan with foil, leaving some overhang on the sides. This will make it easier to lift the squares out once they are set.

4. Transfer the Mixture:

   • Spoon the chocolate and cookie mixture into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula. Ensure that the surface is smooth and level for uniform squares.

5. Chill Until Firm:

   • Place the pan in the refrigerator and allow the mixture to chill until firm. This typically takes about an hour, but you can speed up the process by placing it in the freezer for around 30 minutes.

6. Cut Into Squares:

   • Once the mixture is firm, use the foil overhang to lift it out of the pan onto a cutting board.
   • With a sharp knife, cut the chilled mixture into squares or triangles, whichever you prefer.

7. Serve and Enjoy:

   • Your No Bake Chocolate Cookie Squares are now ready to be enjoyed! Serve them as a delightful dessert or snack, and watch as they disappear in no time.
