These bar cookies are a lil fruity, a lil nutty and a lil crazy chocolatey yumminess all rolled into one! These were a big hit with my family and friends, and would be great at a potluck, a party or just to munch on. **Cooking time does not include chilling time**

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    Melt the butter in a 9x13 inch pan by putting the pan in a 350 degree oven.
  2. 2
    Keep an eye on the butter, and when it's melted, take the pan out of the oven(but keep the oven at 350 degrees) and sprinkle the graham cracker crumbs over top.
  3. 3
    Mix this well and then press it evenly on the bottom of the pan to form your crust.
  4. 4
    Next, in a microwave safe bowl, mix together the marshmellow creme and the Nutella.
  5. 5
    Microwave this mixture for 30-60 seconds, just until it's smooth, easy to stir and a little warm.
  6. 6
    Drop spoonfuls of the Nutella mixture around the crust in little blobs.
  7. 7
    Now take your kiwi slices and evenly scatter them on top.
  8. 8
    Pour the can of sweetened condensed milk over everything evenly.
  9. 9
    Scatter the cranberries, cashews, milk chocolate chips and white chocolate chips next.
  10. 10
    Lightly press down the layers in the pan.
  11. 11
    Bake in your 350 degree pre-heated oven for 25-30 minutes; it should be browned slightly around the edges.
  12. 12
    Let cool completely, then slice into bars and put in the fridge for at least an hour to help them set up a bit.
  13. 13
    Store covered in the fridge, and enjoy!

I had to make these twice because they were just so good. They were easy to cut, but still a bit messy. But what a delicious mess it was. It was a great xombination of everything.

    Clever use of contest ingredients! The combination of textures is really fun and of course, considering the chocolate and butter, how could it not taste sinful? My only constructive criticism is that it was really hard to get these out of the pan. They didn't slice well and it made a mess, but what a tasty mess (good ice cream topping).
