Double Delicious Cookie Bars Recipe

Double Delicious Cookie Bars Recipe

Shane had some friends over this weekend and I knew that when it got late they would get hungry! I decided to bake them something in an attempt to keep them out of our cabinets at midnight. After looking through my pantry at what I needed to use up, I decided on this super simple recipe from Hersheys (you’ll notice the recipe is heavy on suggested Hershey’s ingredients…). It definitely doesn’t get easier than this one and I figured no one would complain about the combination of chocolate and peanut butter. The hardest part about these bars was waiting for them to cool so I could dig in and give them a try! I ended up having mine when they were still a bit warm because I was so impatient. I liked them but thought the chocolate overwhelmed the peanut butter flavor a bit too much. For that reason, I skipped the chocolate drizzle. That said, Shane had a few today (2 days after I baked them) and didn’t think the chocolate was overwhelming at all. In fact, I believe he said, “If I had known these were so good, I would have had some the other night!” Apparently he hadn’t tried them when I put them out for the guys on Saturday, but I don’t think he’ll have any problem finishing off the rest of them now.
