These Are My Most Popular Bars — I Make Over 500 Every Christmas 🎄🍫
These bars have officially earned their place as the most requested treat in my kitchen. Every single Christmas, without fail, I end up making at least 500 of them — and honestly, I still run out. Friends ask for them weeks in advance, family members “jokingly” guard the container, and neighbors suddenly remember my address around December 😄
They’re the kind of bars that disappear the second they hit the table. Soft, rich, perfectly sweet, and dangerously addictive, they strike that magical balance where one bite turns into three… and then you’re reaching for “just one more piece.”
What makes these bars so special is how simple yet irresistible they are. No fancy ingredients, no complicated steps — just pure comfort baked into every square. They cut beautifully, travel well, freeze perfectly, and taste even better the next day, which is exactly why they’re my go-to for cookie boxes, holiday trays, school events, work parties, and gifting.
I’ve tried countless holiday desserts over the years, but these are the ones people remember. I’ve had messages like:
“Do you still make those bars from last Christmas?”
“I’ll trade you anything if you bring those again.”
“Please don’t come without them.”
And honestly? I get it. They’re rich without being heavy, sweet without being overwhelming, and comforting in that nostalgic, homemade way that makes Christmas feel like Christmas.
If you’re looking for a crowd-pleasing holiday dessert, something you can make in large batches without stress, this is it. These bars are perfect for baking ahead, sharing, gifting, and sneaking a few pieces for yourself when no one’s looking 😉
