Not much, I’ll admit.

But this recipe tops it with the added creamy layers of chocolate and peanut butter!

Then just refrigerate until they’ve firmed up and are ready to be diced and served, they won’t last long.

    There is nothing on Earth better than cookie dough, unless you top it with even more deliciousness. These bars look too good to be true! Can’t wait to eat an entire pan by myself.

    Peanut butter and chocolate are my favorite combination. I’m really impressed with how clean your cuts are. They’re perfectly rectangle and without any bites out of them!

    I totally love the cookie dough better than the finished baked cookie. My kids are following in my footsteps with that so I know this recipe would be a huge hit with all of us. Delish!
