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.

OH. MY. GAWD. This is like everything I dream of, in a bite. Making these THIS WEEK!
those pretzel nuggets from trader joes are addicting!

“easy-breezy-I-don’t-care-what-you-add-to-me-because-I-will-work-and-be-delicious-no-matter-what” <— that is so true! Bars are easier than cookies; one pan vs. 24-36 individual things and dont even get me started on muffins/cupcakes and then piping them all. Bar cookies rule!
And so does choc, pb, pretzels and marshmallows!
These look yummy, but more importantly I NEED like desperately NEED that polish. Can you give the brand & color?
HA! Of course! Here’s the link.. http://www.sephora.com/rubber-finish-nail-varnish-P375650
The brand is Illamasqua and it’s a “Rubber Finish” Nail Polish in the color Faux Pas
I love PB filled prezels (and the chocolate covored ones are the best). What a creative way to use them!
I am in love with this flavor combo. The end.
Sick of… cookie bars? What have you done with Shelly? Shelly certainly would never say or think such pishposh. Um, these bars need to happen.
Cookie bars are always welcome, in my opinion! Can’t get enough. So many great combinations! This is yet another one 🙂
No such thing as getting sick of cookie bars!!!
