I feel like a bit of a one-trick pony these days.
I mean, are you sick of cookie bars yet?
Hahahahahahahahahahahaha.
What was I thinking? You guys are my peeps.
No way are you sick of cookie bars.
They’re totally delicious, totally easy and completely versatile.
Like, would a cake let you put chocolate chip cookies and pretzel nuggets in it?
Hmmm, don’t answer that. Idea logged.
Anyway, cookie bars are pretty chill.
Ooh, yuck. I can’t believe I just said that.
What I MEAN is, they are all easy-breezy-I-don’t-care-what-you-add-to-me-because-I-will-work-and-be-delicious-no-matter-what.
Phew.
So yeah. I make a lot of bar desserts.
They make me happy.
And since you ARE my peeps, I’m thinking they make you happy too.
Peanut Butter Pretzel Bars…
So I started with a log of cookie dough.
Log. Snort.
And I pressed it in a pan.
Annnd I baked the bajeezus out of it.
OK, not really. I barely baked it.
Then I put a bunch of marshmallows all over it.
If you don’t follow me on instagram look at THIS box of marshmallows I got from Jet-Puffed.
I decided I had better start using them!
Then I baked that up for a quick minute…just until the marshmallows puff up a little.
Then immediately press your peanut butter filled pretzel nuggets into the gooey-ness. I used THESE pretzel nuggets.
If you want to make it pretty melt some peanut butter chips with a bit of shortening….
And go ahead and drizzle that shizzle…
For real now.

- 2 cups Peanut Butter filled Pretzel Nuggets
- 1/2 cup peanut butter chips
- 1 tsp vegetable shortening

Notes
Store in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
You can cut these with a sharp spatula or a wet knife to prevent from the marshmallow sticking.
While I enjoy a good peanut butter bar, I felt the need to add a little something, that something being more chocolate. I tweaked this just a bit. . .used regular pretzels (broken up) and melted chocolate chips with peanut butter for the drizzle on top. So good!

Wish I had a pan all to myself right now!
