As you know, cookie bars are a favorite around here. I realized, however, that I only have a couple of recipes on the blog, which is hardly proof of my love for cookie bars! I don’t know why I don’t make them more often.
They are super easy and take hardly any time to bake. This makes them a perfect last minute dessert to make for when guests arrive unexpectedly or when you remember at the last minute that you volunteered to bring dessert to a gathering!
Cookie bars are also so versatile, making it easy to throw in whatever you have in your pantry to complete them.
And in our house that usually means some sort of peanut butter cookie bars since peanut butter is always in our pantry!
This variation of a peanut butter base filled with peanut butter M&M’s is one of our favorite cookie bars (Yes, because they are loaded with peanut butter!).
They are even better around spring, because the peanut butter M&M’s become peanut butter M&M eggs giving you even more peanut butter. I don’t know why they don’t just make them that big year round, they are so much better that way!
So, if you love thick, soft peanut butter cookies loaded with even more peanut butter, you have to give these a try!

Oh my gosh, Jess. These cookie bars look SO delish! Maybe it's because I'm on a diet (hahahahahaha good joke, Hayley!) but I have been craving something brown sugary, sweet, salty, and chewy just like this. I may have to break my diet pact and go all out with these guys -- they look sinful!

These look so yummy and love the m&m eggs. I'm in the UK so I'm not sure I can get the eggs but will certainly have a look for them. We have something similar called mini eggs but they're chocolate filled rather than peanut butter. They might still work though :)
