I was so excited when Enjoy Life came out with their new line of chocolate bars, I literally jumped for joy. I was already a huge fan of their chocolate chips, and now they’ve given me a whole new genre of chocolate to bake with. These chocolate chunk cookie bars are an old-fashioned picnic or school function favorite. So easy and yet sooooo good!

Spread the batter evenly across the bottom of the baking pan.
Step 8
Bake in the center of the oven for 35 minutes, or until lightly golden, rotating the pan halfway through.
