# What You Need:

01 - 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
02 - 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
03 - 1/2 teaspoon salt

→ Wet Ingredients

04 - 1 cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
05 - 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
06 - 1/2 cup granulated sugar
07 - 2 large eggs
08 - 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

→ Add-ins & Toppings

09 - 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
10 - 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
11 - 1/4 cup green sprinkles or sanding sugar
12 - 1/2 cup green chocolate candies, optional
13 - Clover-shaped sprinkles, optional for decoration

# How To Make It:

01 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang for easy removal.
02 - In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
03 - In a large bowl, whisk melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth and combined.
04 - Add eggs and vanilla extract to wet mixture, whisking until well incorporated.
05 - Gradually fold dry ingredients into wet mixture using a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.
06 - Gently stir in semi-sweet chocolate chips, white chocolate chips, and half of the green sprinkles and green candies if using.
07 - Spread dough evenly into prepared pan. Sprinkle remaining green sprinkles, green candies, and clover-shaped sprinkles on top.
08 - Bake for 23 to 26 minutes, or until bars are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted in center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
09 - Allow bars to cool completely in pan before lifting out. Cut into 16 bars.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The contrast between soft, buttery centers and those satisfying chocolate pockets makes every bite feel intentional and special.
  • They're ready in under an hour, which means you can show up to a party with homemade treats instead of grabbing something on the way.
  • Green sprinkles do the festive work for you, so no fancy decorating skills required.
02 -
  • Overbaking these by even three minutes turns chewy into hard, so set a timer and check at the 23-minute mark instead of assuming you need the full 26.
  • Cooling completely is non-negotiable if you want bars that hold their shape; cutting into warm bars is tempting but results in a crumbly mess.
03 -
  • If your kitchen is warm, chill your dough for 15 minutes before spreading it into the pan so it doesn't spread too much while baking.
  • Using a combination of chocolate chips instead of just one type creates complexity and keeps people interested across multiple bites.
