Peanut Butter Dough Bars

Is there anything better than cookie dough?

Not much, I’ll admit.

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

Sprinkled with chopped up Reese’s peanut butter cups on top and this recipe is just everything.

All my favorite flavors rolled up into one incredibly easy to make recipe.

Seriously, you’ll need less than 10 minutes to make these yummies.

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

These Peanut Butter dough bars are one of my favorite goodies to bring to gatherings as they look so impressive with the layers, but they take hardly no effort.
