Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars

by

My husband really loves Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups!  This past Father’s Day weekend, I decided to incorporate this yummy candy into a cookie bar that my everyone in my family would love.  This peanut better lover’s dessert is loaded with crunchy peanut butter, miniature Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, and of course some semi sweet chocolate chips for those of us who like chocolate in everything:)  These cookie bars are simple to make, take very little time to prepare and can be served warm or at room temperature with a big glass of cold milk.  What a perfect way to end the day!

    These bars had a good flavor..real yummy. However, the texture was rather dry. I think they need an extra egg for binding purposes and possible just a half a cup of peanut butter vs one cup. The Reeses PB flavor will take its place. Perhaps one cup of brown sugar vs half a cup. This would give more of a cookie dough texture, more moisture & richer flavor.. important for cookie bars. Wow I think I rewrote your recipe. But its worth another shot & thanks for all your yummy recipes!

      Thanks Lisa! I don’t remember the texture being dry when I made these, but maybe it was because I was too in love with all of the peanut butter going on 🙂 I will have to try your suggestions the next time I make these! Thanks so much for the ideas, and I am always looking for ways to make something good even better! 🙂

    Sounds great! I have a question about one ingredient. In the list of ingredients it shows baking powder, but in the instructions it shows baking soda. Which one?
    Thank you.

      Hi Tricia! Thanks so much for stopping by and thanks for catching that error- sorry. It is indeed baking powder. I corrected the mistake, thanks again:) Enjoy!
