Chocolate & peanut butter is the name of the game here. Are you in? Of course you are; that’s why we’re friends.

If you’ve been around these parts for a while you know I’m peanut butter obsessed. Cupcakes, fudge, rice krispies treats, brownies, trifles, cookies… I just can’t get enough.

Today I’m bringing you a twist on Magic Cookie Bars. I’ve got 6 layers of deliciousness going on in here, and you are going to LOVE every bite!

Last month I was wondering what do with ALL our leftover Halloween candy and I came up with the idea for these Peanut Butter Cup Magic Cookie Bars. I dug through my kids’ candy stashes for peanut butter cups and I got to work.

Here’s what I came up with…

INGREDIENTS
PEANUT BUTTER COOKIE BASE:

• 1/2 cup unsalted butter cut into cubes
• 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 large egg yolk
• 1 cup all purpose flour
• pinch salt

TOPPINGS:

• 1 cup semisweet or bittersweet chocolate chips
• 3/4 cup peanut butter chips
• 1 cup chopped peanut butter cups
• 1/2 cup chopped salted peanuts make sure they're salted
• 3/4 cup sweetened condensed milk

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 9x13 baking dish with foil (for easy removal), and grease the foil.
2. Place the butter and peanut butter in a large bowl and microwave until melted. Whisk in granulated and brown sugars. Add egg and egg yolk, whisking until combined. Add flour and a pinch of salt and stir with a spoon or rubber spatula until combined. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 10 minutes.
