Alright, so I'm a mum of 4 and my cookie barrel always has bits on the bottom. Grab a medium to large sized zip-lock bag and throw any "bits" into it. Keep it in the freezer. When it's full make this caramel oozy, chocolate and nut slice. Alternatively, use a full packet of broken cookies..... Any cookie will do - for those with Gluten issues, use gluten free cookies.

How To Make betty's cookie barrel "bits" bars

Step 1

Pre-heat oven to 180oC (365oF). Grease and line 20x30 cm slab cake tin (8x10 in).

Step 2

Melt the butter and pour into the tin over the baking paper. Move the butter all around to all the edges.
Step 3

Pour in the cookie bits and try to have them all in a single layer - there will be some holes.
Step 4

Sprinkle over the coconut, nuts and choc (or what ever flavour) chips and cover with the condensed milk.
Step 5

Bake in the prepared oven for about 20 -25 minutes or until the top is golden and bubbly and the condensed milk has gone all caramel-y.
Step 6

Cool in the tin. Remove when cold and slice into squares.
