Cookie Candy Bars Recipe

I’m going to honest, these are Evil. Yes evil with a capital E. Imagine the world’s best cookie, then slather it in peanut butter and top it with mini candy. You would think that it it would be too much, but it’s not. You’ve been warned! So I am not responsible for you getting addicted to these.  Or your friends, co-works and neighbors.  One of my favorite things about this treat are the mini Oreos, Kit Kats and M&Ms that melt into the peanut butter.  Making a siren’s call of flavors  that will beckon you for seconds.

• After 5 minutes of cooling drop mini spoon fulls of peanut butter evenly over the top of the bars. allowing it to melt. Then carefully spread peanut butter evenly over the bars creating an even coating. Then disperse all the mini candy over the top.( the center might sink a little creating a trough for the toppings). Allow to sit for a minute and then place bars in the fridge to set.
