These Bacon, Beer and Potato Chip Cookie Bars are one crazy pan of bars, full of sweet and salty flair and all your favorite munchie-food guilty pleasures! They are perfect for Father’s Day, aren’t they?! I mean what dad wouldn’t love to have a few of his favorite foods baked into a chocolate chip cookie? Mine would! I actually wanted to call this recipe “Man Bars.” When I told the Bubba that they were man bars, he said the only thing they were missing was motor oil. Yuck!!!
