Why You'll Love This Recipe

  • Cookie bars with that amazing cookie butter flavor!
  • A delicious no bake recipe for no bake bars with NO Peanut Butter!!!!

Ingredient Notes

  • Cookie Butter - Cookie Butter is also known as Biscoff spread or just speculoos cookie butter. It's make from speculoos cookies.
  • Nilla Wafers - I use these instead of graham crackers because the graham crackers overpowered the flavor of the cookie butter.
  • Butter - I used salted butter. If using unsalted butter add ½ teaspoon salt to the cookie butter layer.
  • Chocolate Chips - You can use either milk chocolate or semi-sweet chocolate chips.

Couple Things You'll Need

Step by Step Instructions

  • Line a 9x13 baking dish or 9x13 baking sheet with parchment paper or wax paper to easily lift the entire dessert out of the pan for slicing.
  • To prepare the cookie layer crush the Nilla Wafers into fine crumbs in a food processor. You can also crush them in a ziploc bag with a rolling pin.
  • NOTE - An 11 oz box of Nilla Wafers will give you 2 ½ cup of crumbs.
  • Measure the wafer crumbs and powdered sugar into a large mixing bowl and stir to mix. This could also be quickly mixed up with a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment.
  • Add the smooth cookie butter and melted cup butter to the bowl.
  • Mix very well.
  • Press dough into the prepared pan in an even layer.
  • Melt the chocolate carefully in the microwave in a small bowl for the chocolate layer and spread over the top of the bars.
  • Chill for 1 ½ hours before lifting out of the pan, cutting and serving.
  • Store leftover bars in the fridge in an airtight container.

Recipe FAQs

What is cookie butter?

Cookie butter is a food paste made primarily from speculoos cookie crumbs, fat, flour, and sugar. The ingredients are mixed until it becomes spreadable on a sandwich. In countries like Belgium, the Netherlands, and France, it is a common alternative to nut butter and chocolate spreads.

Does cookie butter contains nuts?

Nope!  It does not!  So this is a great choice for those allergic to nuts!
