EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

Skip the cooking spray and line pan with foil for quick cleanup and easy bar removal.

For a different flavor, try milk chocolate or semisweet chocolate chips for the peanut butter chips.

These were a big hit at work. I used the tin foil for easy clean up and it was a little harder to spread the cookie dough on the bottom but totally work it! They are very easy to make and the taste is unbelievable. I accidentally bought peanut butter/chocolate chips instead of just peanutbutter and it still tasted wonderful. Definately recommend this recipe.

So yummy and SO fast! I just happened to have all the ingredients on hand and needed two desserts fast. These were ready quickly and gobbled up quickly as well. Nice change from the mundane chocolate desserts I often make. A++++
