Reeses Peanut Butter Bars


So I was rolling through photos on the computer, found this one on the desktop. Apparently, I had made these, went through the effort of photoing them, and then did nothing else with them. It took me an entire day to remember what I did to make them. I do remember that they were one of those recipes where I wanted to make something, but didn't have much oomph to go from scratch. I do always seem to have an abundance of candy. Sad thing, this might have been before I was pregnant and had no valid 'excuse' to have so much of one thing in the house. Maybe it was on sale.

Really no 'recipe' needed. Happened to be what I had on hand and sounded good together.

Reeses Peanut Butter Bars


Ingredients:
Box of peanut butter cookie mix. ( I have slew of Krusteaz brand from a sale )
-ingredients required on the box to make said cookies
8 or so reeses peanut butter cups- coarsely chopped
1 cup or so of chocolate chips
caramel ice cream topping or homemade caramel drizzle if you feel you MUST make something from scratch

Directions:
Make cookie dough as instructed.
Press firmly in bottom of 8x8.
Press in coarsely chopped reeses and chocolate chips.
Bake at instructed temp (350) for 20-25 minutes or until center is set. This might be longer than 20-25minutes, I'm stabbing at how long I had these in the oven.
When done, drizzle caramel topping.
Cool.
Cut, eat. Remember that it's okay, not everything has to be made from scratch.



I realize that this isn't quite like my usual posts. That being said, the photo wasn't 1/2 bad, so I had to use it somewhere!

Happy Weekend!

Maybe you forgot how to actually make them because your mind was preoccupied with how yummy they looked!
