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.

Hi! I’m Shelly and I’m an addict. Of the buttercream sort. I started this site a few years ago as a way to justify my sugary, buttery obsession with desserts. It has worked out well for me so far, because as it turns out you guys all love sugary, buttery desserts too! It feels good to know you're not alone, doesn’t it?

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!

Made these last week, I couldn’t find the peanut butter pretzel nuggets so I used Snyders peanut butter pretzel sandwiches and they turned out wonderful ! Love this especially when I don’t want to make a mess, it’s so easy and I didn’t even have to get my mixer out 🙂
Um… YES PLEASE! found you via pinterest – here to stay thanks to this!
So yummy! Just made tonight. I added too much shortening to the pb chips so that’s a little runny but good otherwise! You are so creative!
WOW! I’m drooling at the computer just thinking about these.
Peanut butter and pretzels are my favorite. These look so good.
Oh girl, these look way to good to be true!!
I’m in LOVE! I think I may need to make a gluten-free version of these 🙂
