1
Preheat the oven to 350F and grease and line an 8x8 inch square pan.
-
2
Place butter and sugar into a large bowl or the bowl of your stand mixer and beat until light and fluffy, 2 mins on med-high speed.
-
3
Add in the egg and vanilla extract, scraping down sides as necessary and mix on med-high until well incorporated.
-
4
Add in the honey and mix briefly until combined.
-
5
Place flours, spices, baking soda and salt into a medium sized bowl and stir to combine.
-
6
Tip the flour mix into the egg mixture and mix on low until you have a soft dough.
-
7
Place 3/4 of the dough into your lined pan and push into the pan with your hands or the back of a spoon until level.
-
8
Place the base in the oven for 10 minutes, it will be slightly puffy and ever so slightly coloured around the edges when ready.
-
9
Whilst the base is baking, make the filling: place condensed milk, chocolate chips, vanilla and salt into a medium sized saucepan over a low heat and stir continuously until the chocolate melts and everything is smooth and well combined.
-
10
Leave to one side until the base is done baking.
-
11
Once baked, pour the fudge filling all over and smooth until level with a spoon/spatula.
-
12
Crumble the remaining 1/4 of cookie dough over the fudge filling - it's not meant to entirely cover it, so gaps are fine!
-
13
Place in the oven for 15-20 (mine took 17 minutes) until the cookie dough is golden brown and the filling is just set, it will be soft and wobble slightly in the middle.
-
14
Leave to cool completely in the pan, before slicing into 9-12 bars.
-
15
Bars will keep in an airtight container, at room temperature for 5 days.
