Directions

1 Heat oven to 350°F. Spray bottom only of 13x9-inch pan with cooking spray. In large bowl, stir cookie base and topping ingredients until soft dough forms. Make 6 cookies by dropping rounded teaspoonfuls of dough onto ungreased cookie sheet; flatten slightly.
2 Press remaining dough in pan. Bake cookies and base 10 to 12 minutes or until edges are light golden brown. Cool 10 minutes. Reserve cookies for topping.
3 In small microwavable bowl, microwave chocolate chips and 1/4 cup butter uncovered on High 1 minute to 1 minute 30 seconds, stirring every 30 seconds, until melted and stirred smooth. Spread evenly over bars. Refrigerate until firm, about 30 minutes.
4 In medium bowl, beat cream cheese, 2/3 cup peanut butter, the powdered sugar and whipping cream with electric mixer on low speed until blended. Beat on high speed about 2 minutes or until light and fluffy. Spread over chocolate layer.
5 Crush reserved cookies; sprinkle over cream cheese layer. Press in lightly. Refrigerate until set, at least 1 hour. For bars, cut into 8 rows by 4 rows. Store covered in refrigerator.

I've never actually made these with the chocolate chip cookie layer. I prefer to buy a chocolate brownie mix, preferably with peanut butter cups in it, to use as the base. Then, I layer the cream cheese/PB layer over it and put the melted chocolate on last. It is absolutely divine.

I used low fat cream cheese and peanut butter and they turned out very good. The topping is very rich. Even my non-GF family members enjoyed them. However the chocolate layer makes them hard to cut to the point where the sides of the bars get crumbly. I would probably make that thinner next time or add whipped cream or something to soften it up.
