I remember making these chocolate chip bars growing, but I decided to update the recipe. I love taking recipes I had growing up and updating them for my family. One thing about my childhood I remember is my mom always having homemade baked goods in our house. Sometimes it was cookies, sometimes banana bread, other times it was muffins and every so often there would be something cake like. Something about these homemade baked goods always made me feel a little extra love and showed me  was special to my mom. I want to pass this same feeling along to my kids and let them know they are so special to me.

If you know me, you know I love brown butter.  My kids love all things with brown butter. So I decided to brown the butter and it really does make these bars absolutely delicious. I also like to use a few different kinds of chocolate chips, from milk chocolate to dark chocolate. I prefer Ghirardelli chocolate chips, they are my favorite to bake with.

Also you don’t need a mixer, just a bowl, whisk and spatula. You can whip them up in less than an hour. So if you need something chocolate and don’t feel like making cookies, make these bars instead. This is a great recipe to make with your kids. Isabella loves to make these with me.
