Instructions

To make the bars:

  1. Preheat oven to 350ºF.  Prepare an 8×8 baking pan by either using parchment paper or nonstick cooking spray.
  2. In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Stir continually until butter starts to brown, about 5 – 6 minutes.  Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
  3. In a medium bowl, beat together Splenda Brown Sugar Blend and Splenda Granulated Sweetener. Pour in cooled browned butter. Beat on high. Add egg and vanilla, beating for one minute.  Add flour, baking soda and salt. Beat until fully incorporated. Fold in chocolate chips.
  4. Spread most of the dough evenly out in the pan, reserving two tablespoons to crumble on top.  Spread pistachio butter mixture (see the instruction below) over the chocolate chip dough, keeping it about an inch in from the sides. Crumble the reserved 2 tablespoons of cookie dough on top. If desired, top with chopped pistachios.
  5. Bake for 15-18 minutes, until bars are done, but still gooey. Slice into bars and serve!

To make the pistachio butter mixture:

  1. Add pistachios to a small food processor and process on high. Add milk, and process until pistachios smooth out and become creamy.  Set aside.

Note

  • If desired, sprinkle a few more chocolate chips on top for decoration!
