Peanut Butter Chocolate Cookie Bars

This is one super yummy, quick, easy, and dressed for St. Patrick's Day treat! It is easily adaptable for any occasion or no occasion at all!

Here is what you need:

1 package of 17.5 ounce Betty Crocker Peanut Butter cookie mix plus ingredients needed on package

1/2 package of Chocolate Candiquik

sprinkles if desired

 

Prepare 6x10 inch baking dish or pan by spraying with cooking spray. Mix together peanut butter cookie mix with ingredients called for on package (1 egg, 3 T oil, 1 T water). Spread peanut butter cookie dough into dish, flattening if needed. Bake at 350 for 20-22 minutes. Let cool.

Melt 1/2 package of Candiquik according to package directions or I just melt it in the microwave in a microwave safe glass dish for about 1-1/2 minutes. Stir until smooth. Pour on top of peanut butter cookie and spread out with spatula or the back of a spoon. Immediately sprinkle with seasonal sprinkles, if desired. Let chocolate set up.

I thought the chocolate had set up, but with the cookie still slightly warm when I spread on the chocolate, it wasn't quite ready, and the first bar I cut the chocolate was still melty, but oh so yummy!

The cookie bars in the center of the pan are more reminiscent of a peanut butter cup, the ones on the outside with the edges a little crisper, more of a cookie. No matter which you prefer the inside or the edges....the chocolaty, peanut buttery goodness will have you wanting more!
