S’mores in a brownie or a brownie in s’mores but to top it off we added peanut butter for your taste buds delight.
These s’mores peanut butter cookie bars have the perfect combination of flavors. I just love the flavors of s’mores with chocolate, graham cracker and marshmallow and these cookie bars just take it to the next level with peanut butter!
I shared these amazing cookie bars over at Lolly Jane last month and its almost summer time, so I’m thinking all things s’mores and wanted to share them with you too!
The cookie bars start with a peanut butter cookie base, which I just barely altered from my peanut butter blondies recipes, you’ll then mix in some chocolate chips and some Reeses’s peanut butter cups and bake. Top it with marshmallows and return to the oven for just a minute to allow the marshmallows to get that perfectly golden toasty edge that we love in s’mores. Slice them up carefully and you’re ready to serve!
So you start with a peanut butter cookie bar base, I altered the recipe for my peanut butter blondies. Then mix in some chocolate chips, and some reeses’ peanut butter cups. Bake it all up and then top it with marshmallows and broil for about a minute to get them nice and toasty. Carefully cut them up and serve!
