Ingredients: 3/4 cup butter, softened; 1 cup sugar; 2 eggs; 1/3 cup milk; 1 teaspoon vanilla extract; 1-3/4 cups all-purpose flour; 1 teaspoon salt; 1 teaspoon baking soda; 1 ounce semisweet chocolate, melted; 3/4 cup chopped walnuts; 9 whole graham crackers; 3/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Graham crackers are sandwiched between a brownie base and chocolate chip cookie top in these terrific treats. "My mother made these bar cookies for us, and now I make them for my children," relates Amy Corey of Monticello, Maine.

Ingredients

3/4 cup butter, softened
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1/3 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1-3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 ounce semisweet chocolate, melted
3/4 cup chopped walnuts
9 whole graham crackers
3/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Directions

In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Combine milk and vanilla. Combine flour, salt and baking soda; add to the creamed mixture alternately with milk mixture.
Remove a third of the batter to another bowl; stir in melted chocolate. Fold in walnuts. Spread into a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking pan. Arrange graham crackers over top.
Add chocolate chips to remaining batter. Drop by spoonfuls over graham crackers and spread evenly. Bake at 375° for 20-25 minutes or until top springs back when lightly touched. Cool on a wire rack before cutting.

I was very disappointed with this recipe. The brownies were ver dry and crumbly. Perhaps I baked them too long, however I baked them for 22 minutes. Won't make these again :-(

These brownies turned out delicious but it was very difficult to determine a third of the batter. On the first try I had to take it out of the pan and add more batter to the mixture to have enough to spread into the pan.SJS
