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.

I will never get tired of cookie bars, nor will I ever get tired of salty + sweet desserts. These look so yummy!
I could never be sick of cookie bars. Evaaaar.
LOL you said shizzle, so funny, but they look good, so that totally makes the language okay;p
Shelly, I can feel my hips expanding just looking at these photos! Oh well, bring them on!!
Cookie bars will never get old, definitely love these!
I will never be sick of the bar cookies…NEVER! Especially bars with so much goodness on top of the cookie layer…you are an evil dessert genius:-)
Looks delish but i have to tweak the pb! Do you think regular pretzel nuggets would work, or should i break some pretzel sticks instead? This definitely will satisfy the salty sweet cravings!
I choose cookie bars over cookies any day! They have a way better texture throughout. And are just more fun. Love this sweet and salty!
Your food photography is stunning. So crisp and sharp. May I ask what camera and lens you use? I strive for my pics to look like yours. I’m havin fun going through your blog and my son can’t wait for me to make these bars. Thank u Kelly
Pretzels and peanut butter are amazing together!
