Treat yourself to these Chocolate Chip Cookie Peanut Butter S’mores Bars! So many layers of a delicious marshmallow, peanut butter and chocolate dessert…these cookie bars are a guaranteed crowd pleaser at any party you attend!
A few weeks ago I opened up my front door to a package. Now I am no stranger to the package on the front door. I consider myself a bit of an online shopping expert. But sometimes when you are such an expert internet shopper you forget about the things you buy…
That is until the box ends up on the front step.
ORRR the husband intercepts said box, which is basically the worst day of my life.
In these cases he generally stands over me while I open the box, all while I over-explain about how it was “on sale”, a “total bargain” or (my favorite) “for the children”. Anyway, when you open the box it’s like a surprise! What did I order? I can’t even remember!
It’s basically like Christmas.
But back to the box in question. I couldn’t remember ordering anything…so when I opened it up and saw that it was a copy of Averie’s new book Peanut Butter Comfort I was so super excited. Because the only thing better than opening up your boxes of online purchases, are opening up boxes that are a surprise! Love that!
Anyway, I quickly got to work choosing something to make. Because helllllooooo, the whole book is about peanut butter. You guys all know how I feel about peanut butter. My boo.
Although it was hard to decide, I chose to make her Six Layer Cookie and Marshmallow S’mores Sandwich Bars. Tis the season of the S’more. And y’all never seem to get tired of S’more-ish stuff.
Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Smores Bars…
I even made a quick little video to show you just how easy it is!
I made the recipe pretty much exactly as-is written. She even made a modification for those of us who want to take a short-cut and use packaged cookie dough.
Which I did.
How to Make Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter S’mores Bars:
You’ll need 2 packages of cookie dough. The recipe calls for Chocolate Chip, but I grabbed one that had white chocolate too. Totally up to you!
Press 1 1/4 packages into the bottom of a lined and greased pan…
The top that completely with milk chocolate bars…
THEN top that with peanut butter.
Gorgeous.
THENNNN top that with graham cracker crumbs…
And yep, top that with Marshmallow Fluff…
And finally you’ll top all that with the remaining cookie dough.
She says in the recipe to use a rolling pin to flatten it out.
I didn’t have a ton of luck getting it flat enough, so I pieced it on. It was totally fine.
Then bake that up for about 20 minutes. It will weigh approximately 76 pounds. And for real you guys. The is how it will look when it’s done…
You have to let it cool completely before you can cut it…otherwise, like she says in the recipe, it will be a big ol’ mess.
SO I waited and then I chilled it, so it would be easy to cut…And y’all.
Be still my heart…
I can’t even tell you how good these bars are.
Can’t even tell you.
Super incredibly amazing. I had to get them out of the house asap, because I couldn’t be trusted.
Enjoy!

Description
Treat yourself to these Chocolate Chip Cookie Peanut Butter S’mores Bars! So many layers of a delicious marshmallow, peanut butter and chocolate dessert…these cookie bars are a guaranteed crowd pleaser at any party you attend!
Ingredients
- 2 (16 oz) packages of pre-made cookie dough
- 16 oz Milk Chocolate Candy Bars (I used a little more than 3 XL Hershey Bars)
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs (about 4 full crackers)
- 7 oz jar of Marshmallow fluff (1 1/2 cups)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°
- Line a 9×9 pan with foil and spray with cooking spray
- press 1 1/4 of the cookie dough into the bottom of the prepared pan.
- Top the cookie dough completely with the Hershey Bars
- Spread the peanut butter on top of the chocolate using an off-set spatula or knife.
- Sprinkle the graham cracker crumbs on top of peanut butter and press into the peanut butter.
- Spread the Fluff on top of the graham cracker layer. The Fluff is hard to spread, so do your best when spreading over the graham crumbs.
- Finally roll the remaining cookie dough out on a flour-dusted counter top. Place rolled dough on top of Fluff. My dough ripped, so I just pieced it on, which was totally fine!
- Bake for 20-22 minutes until top is golden.
- Allow to cool for 2 hours on a wire rack. Then transfer to refrigerator to cool for at least another 2 hours. If bars aren’t completely cooled they will be far too oozy to eat.
- Cut into squares while chilled.
Notes
store airtight in the refrigerator.
Serve chilled or reheated in the microwave. I actually liked them chilled.
Best if eaten within 3 days.

I made it a little easier to put the top layer of cookie dough on by pre-setting it on either parchment paper or tin foil. That way you could just lay it down on the marshmallows and you wouldn’t have to piece it together. Worked beautifully!!!
This recipe is amazing I have just made it for a third time because I keep taking it to work and I want to leave some at home.
How much does this end product weight? This site says 76 POUNDS? Is that a typo?
O.M.G. This look out of control, I need to get Averie’s book ASAP!
Oh my, those look amazing!!!
I just made these and lived to tell the tale! My tip: zap the fluff in the microwave for just 10 seconds and it will spread over those graham cracker crumbs much more easily. Also: I only had crunchy peanut butter but I kinda love the texture!! Thanks for sharing, let me know if you want to see a pic of mine
I would love to! Share it on my facebook page!!
So, I made these for my family and they were amazing good! I don’t know about anyone else, the fluff was impossible to spread, but no matter they were still delish! I took them to work and they were gone in seconds! I love your recipes and haven’t had a bad one yet!
Oh, and i didn’t have a 9×9 pan, made in 7×11 and they were fine. Ingredients worked fine.
Yes impossible! I just let it settle into place on its own..
Also I feel as though 20-22 min was not long enough to bake.. the dough looks raw at this point or is it just goey from the layers?
Ahhh, I want some of these RIGHT NOW.
Are you freakin’ kidding me! Those are some sinfully delicious looking bars 😉
Tell me again why I am giving up sweets this week, these are torture!
I’m dying. I twittered and facebooked the heck out of these. And then will go back them. OMG
Wow. My head is about to explode with all that chocolate and peanut butter goodness. Just… wow.
