Chocolate Layer Crumb Bars

Every week I try to have a sweet made for the house. Something portable for hubby and the girl to take to work/school so we don't have to purchase store bought, mass produced goodies.

Last night we were at the grocery store and hubby stopped to grab a pack of Chips Ahoy cookies.
Really?

But, as he says, "yours may be better...but there is something nostalgic about Chips Ahoy. Dunk them, you know exactly how they will react."

Apparently the dunking factor is a big one.
OK.
I let him get his cookies.

Sometimes we try and try...and it's just not the "same". Whateves.
It's a little silly to be jealous over a pack of cookies, huh?
So....let's make dunkable bars!
If he's lucky, I might even share one with him. (insert evil laugh here)

I had happened to cut this recipe off the back of a bag of chocolate chunks, but found it online for your ease.
