So I recently hosted bunko at my dwelling. I’m in a Bunko group with eleven completely different girls, all of us take turns and host a particular month. The hostess makes an entree and a few completely different dishes and the other girls each ship a dish to share. My good buddy, Kim, launched a candy bar cookie pie…two really. One made with sugar cookie dough and one made with chocolate chip cookie dough. I requested her how she made it, she talked about she observed a video on fb…it’s so humorous because of just a few days later, I observed the video current up in my info feed.
She used store-bought substances and I decided to utilize what I’ve — for the candy bars, I had white chocolate peanut butter cups that I bought and had grand plans for…okay, unlikely, I wasn’t sure what I was going to make until this idea popped into my head! I moreover LOVE Elise’s peanut butter cookie recipe and that’s the cookie dough I used for these pie bars…and used a sq. pan to make them pie bars.
I merely love when a plan comes collectively so simply!
That’s how I make the graham cracker crust by crushing graham crackers with a rolling pin.
After which mix in flooring cinnamon and powdered sugar after which 10 tablespoons of butter. I do know it’s fairly lots…I actually used the similar major crust from this cheesecake recipe nonetheless I wasn’t truly pondering and put in 10 tablespoons of butter to melt.
It resulted in a further moist crust (exhausting to clarify) and I LOVED IT.
Place in a prepped sq. pan and refrigerate for no less than an hour.
Scale back up the white chocolate peanut butter cups!
After which make the peanut butter cookie dough.
Almost carried out!
Unfold half of the cookie dough over the crust.
And add half of the peanut butter cups and push them into the crust. Then repeat with the rest of the cookie dough and butter cups.
These are so good…I’m obsessive about them. Certain, I flip into merely obsessed nonetheless that’s what happens. Subsequent time, I’m attempting them with chocolate peanut butter cups! Yeah!
