My FFH loves to call me Betty cOcker , not Crocker, cOcker, whenever I make cheater recipes like this.
Yes, thats me Betty cOcker in the kitchen and
at all other times. Ok, ya got me , sometimes in the kitchen as well..
Try this yummy dessert.. No one will know you began with a bagged cookie mix, NO ONE, trust the BJ queen. And I won't tell.. my lips are sealed, yeah right, like they are ever sealed. Original recipe here. Begin by gathering these
Preheat the oven to 350. Mix together the cookie base and oil, water, egg till soft dough forms. Shape 6 (1 inch) balls of dough. On cookie sheet, place balls 2 inches apart and flatten in crisscross pattern with fork.
Press remaining dough in a greased 13x9 inch pan
Bake cookies and base for 10-12 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool 10 minutes. Reserve cookies for topping.In a small microwavable bowl, microwave your chocolate chips and butter
uncovered on high for 60-90 seconds. and stir every 30 seconds till melted and smooth. Spread evenly over bars.
Refrigerate till firm about 30-60 minutes. Grab these suckers.






















Some hard thrusting would be ideal at the moment. But then again, so would these peanut butter bars. These sound absolutely amazing!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the raking! Blow all those peeping Toms away ;)
Those look amazing Donna!
ReplyDeleteA great snack to come home to after an afternoon of raking. I just wait for my leaves to blow away.. is that bad?
ReplyDeleteLOL - I'm laughing because we have about 50 construction workers in both the front and back yard right now! Can you imagine me doing the same thing at my house?
ReplyDeleteThese bars look so decadent that they are screaming my name! I have to have them! I think I'm gonna try them for this week's 12 weeks of xmas cookies. I better start getting my ingredients together!!
complimenti per questa delizia!
ReplyDeleteThese look so good!! and easy peasy!!
ReplyDeleteYUM! I cannot WAIT to make these!!
ReplyDeleteAnother wonderful recipe :D
ReplyDeleteMy God women, you do have the tastiest treats!!! I made your skillit mac and green chilis for dinner last night and loved it. So easy and so tasty. Wish I had had these for dessert. ;)
ReplyDeleteI need to rake my leaves, too. Unfortunately, my sister lives across the street. That is not the audience that I desire. I do love an audience, though...
ReplyDeleteWow. These seem really rich and definitely a yummy treat. I like that pb is the star and chocolate has the smaller role!
ReplyDeleteI'm with Natashya. I usually let the leaves in our yard take care of themselves...lol. This looks like a yummy reicpe and simple too! I like simple...lol.
ReplyDeleteI got very frustrated sitting home sick because for some reason my home computer doesn't like your flash animation and hangs with error messages, which meant for the past two days I couldn't read your blog. I have to read it at work. That seems wrong, doesn't it?
ReplyDeleteI'm loving your bars, mix or not. I'm trying to cut my sugar intake 'cause I'm getting way too fat lately, but stuff like this bumps up against my best efforts. I'm dreaming of peanut butter!
You do make leaf raking far more appealing. I live in an apartment, so I don't rake leaves anymore. I used to rake them from Grandma's yard for $20. If offered one of two rewards for raking, which would I take? Hmmmmmm
These bars look so delicious - wish I had one for breakfast right now.
ReplyDeleteOh man, those bars look wicked good. I don't have anything to say about the rest. ;)
ReplyDeletevern said he has a blower. ohh i get it he has a BLOWER. that's you the queen,
ReplyDeleteThese bars sounds super yummy! Perfect snack!
ReplyDeleteI love the short cut. The cookies look and sound wonderful. Nice for something after.
ReplyDeleteummm this is really dangerous. Like super dangerous. Wow so tasty!!! xo
ReplyDeleteLooks yummy.... I love "cheater" recipes... hey thats what the bagged stuff is for... and besides... there must be a lot of closet cheaters out there... these companies sell millions of these bags.
ReplyDeleteGreat recipe... I'll have to try it.
Enjoy the crisp autumn leaves, the work-out that follows and these peanut bars! Yum!
ReplyDeleteAs always, you have a great, put a smile on my face blog post.
That sounds like a great time to me, I love the fallen leaves! That recipe is a weiner too, love it!
ReplyDeleteGotta have me some of those bars! Goodness they look divine and I love that you used bagged cookie mix!! These are a must have!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your afternoon frolicking in the leaves.
I love recipes that let you cheat! You can't beat chocolate and peanut butter.
ReplyDeleteRake Hard, Rake Fast... and great looking recipe
ReplyDeleteI "try" and get my 22 year old son to do the leaves. We have a ton of them this time of year already. The peanut bars look great and I love using packaged mixes. Makes things quick and easy!!!! (The last sentence can be taken many different ways!!!!)!
ReplyDeletePeanut butter cookies crust with the rich yet creamy chocolate filling sounds a fantastic, quick and memorable enjoyment....like "that sometimes in the kitchen as well".
ReplyDeleteYou are so darn cute! I can think of a few ways to enjoy your PB bars...
ReplyDeleteOk wow you are killing me with this recipe! I saw the title and wanted to make it right away :) The best thing is I'm pretty sure I have some peanut butter cookies in the pantry:) Your recipes are always so awesome...man I wish I lived in your house!!! I would stay chubby but boy would I be satisfyed :)
ReplyDeleteI'm not a big peanut butter fan, but I'm sure a pan of these would be a big hit for kids or men!
ReplyDeleteNothing wrong with cheater recipes. All that matters is that the end result tastes good... and I bet these bars were phenomenal!
ReplyDeleteI didn't know that it could get any better than peanut butter and chocolate. I guess the addition of cream cheese shows that it can!
ReplyDeleteooooooh that would be worth a lot of extra minutes on the rowing machine.
ReplyDeleteI let the hubs do the raking...fun the the girls in the neighborhood. While I am inside making something delicious like this...seriously, I love a good cheater recipe now and again ;)
ReplyDeleteGirl, I'd weigh 500 pounds if I lived in your house. These look decadent and nasty...and well, do Donna! Cheater recipes are a good thing. My husband would devour these in no time at all.
ReplyDeleteHope you have a good work out :) I really like the crumbled cookies on top of the PB bars!
ReplyDeleteyummm!! If I had a plateful of this in front it me I'd gobble it all up! :)
ReplyDeleteI swear, I'd like to live next door to you with all those delicious goodies come from your kitchen. I love the chocolate and peanut butter combination - and the cream cheese filling really takes it over the top.
ReplyDeleteHave fun raking leaves - I remember those days when we lived in upstate NY.
Is this why no one answered the door & The rakes were left in the driveway ?? I could hear you yelling outside !!
ReplyDeleteYummm... peanut butter is so perfect for everything! Oh.. btw, this post reminds me that I just had a chocolate brownies with a layer of cheese brownies! :D
ReplyDeleteThese are right up my alley. Peanut butter and chocolate is my absolute fave combo--can't get enough!!!
ReplyDeleteSadly i don't have a yard to rake. lol. Awesome bars. I've been craving peanut butter lately and, of course, I don't need to tell you about my love for chocolate. ;-D
ReplyDeleteNo leaves her either. Rats!
ReplyDeleteYour cookie bars are always so fabulous! This is another delicious one I must try! :D
Oh my these look soooo good.Ill rake leaves..these will be my reward.
ReplyDeleteHaha. Ok, quick story. I'm a newcomer here. You've stopped by my blog once before, and I was like "oh yeah I gotta check hers out". Well, your blog is great.
ReplyDeleteI'm cracking up with your innuendos. When I'm not at work, I hang out in the gutter quite often. Between thrusting, BJ, and something about a carpet that made my mind wander... this is awesome :)
Oh, and good bars too!
Well, I too frolicked in the leaves today, but alas, I was in torn old jeans, a sweatshirt and a fuzzy hat-a little cool here. Love the bars, I could go for one right now :)
ReplyDeleteBetty cOcker, you slay me!
I have mountains of leaves to rake! And it sounds like you have lots more fun with it than me! Love these scrumptious bars - PB and chocolate are a match made in heaven.
ReplyDeletePeanut butter, chocolate, AND cream cheese? All of my favorite things in one bar!
ReplyDeletecute outfit! these pb bars looks fantastic. i love getting store bought packages and making things amazing like this!
ReplyDeleteDonna, I love your bar recipes. You always make them looks so simple and easy.
ReplyDeleteLOL,I wonder what the neighbors say!?
ReplyDeleteThose bars look seriously good yet ridiculously easy.
~ingrid
Wow! Those look DELISH! We have oaks so we give Spring leaves instead of Fall leaves. It's a lot of work. And I have a tall, tall privacy fence, cuz I don't want NOBODY peeking at ME! ;) Even though the only "racy" thing I do is go out with the dog or to fill the feeders in my nightgown LOL!
ReplyDeleteYep, some of my favorite things all baked into one...yum! I made your chili mac too, it was great!
ReplyDeleteI love cream cheese with anything! That topping looks so fluffy and delicious.
ReplyDeleteOh my God, you cannot go wrong with PB, chocolate and cream cheese! I have bookmarked this recipe!
ReplyDeleteOOO (yep... triple "O") my god!! cream cheese...chocolate AND peanut butter!!! I think this could be addicting
ReplyDeleteWhat a great dessert. Perfect for any potluck as well.
ReplyDeleteMy arteries are creaking, but my face is smiling. This sounds good!
ReplyDeleteNo leaves, dammit. I am stranded in my lil hotel room...
ReplyDeleteLove the bars...
Chocolate and peanut butter...it doesn't get any better than this. I'm going to miss the leaves.
ReplyDeleteSigh.
Sam
That's a great little treat you've to there! And your photos are drool-worthy.
ReplyDeleteI used to rake leaves -who else would do it?- but the kids and animals would jump in my neat piles and make a mess of everything. And they had so much fun doing it. Groan.
Did you get a new camera?? Your photos are INCREDIBLE!! As always, you had me chuckling!! Your peanut butter bars look AMAZING!!
ReplyDeleteI've been looking for a peanutbuttery, chocolatey, cheesy recipe for hubby. I think this is IT! rock on girly. (oh, btw, for me it's the smell of wood, sawed wood to be exact....but not IN the pile of sawed wood LOL)
ReplyDeleteYou rake in style! Just like you bake. A shortcut in a bag is great...and useful. No one will know!
ReplyDeleteThose looked really good to me!
ReplyDeleteYum, love a quick and easy dessert as days get busier, and chocolate and peanut butter is my idea of the perfect combination.
ReplyDeleteYour desserts always look so wonderful, Donna and I've never been disappointed by anything I've tried! I'm bookmarking a handful that would be good to make around the holidays...this will most definitely be added to my list!
ReplyDeleteWhen I first started visiting I used to blush. Now I'm pretty used to all this ahem, romance. Anyway, these cookies look sinful Donna! Thanks.
ReplyDeleteLaura
thrust those bars my way!
ReplyDeleteYummy! Those looking great. I am hungry! Thanks for stopping by my place a few days ago...I am way behind!
ReplyDeleteHolly @ 504 Main
Oh gosh! Those look flippin amazing!
ReplyDeleteChocolate, cream cheese and peanut butter together? Wow these bars must be super excellent!!
ReplyDeleteYUM - those cookies have all the best goodies in them!!!!
ReplyDeletethree absolutely winning components, all displayed in marvelously defined layers. this is fabulous!
ReplyDeleteThese would add another 10 pounds to my backside but would be totally worth it!
ReplyDeleteYou can cheat all you want, if the results always look this good Donna! Holy peanut butter Batman ... I need some of these pronto!
ReplyDeleteYUM! And *sigh*. Now I have to make these. I'll never get back into my old jeans.
ReplyDeleteThose look yummy! Nice job Betty Cocker:)
ReplyDeleteGirl that looks absolutely fantastic!!
ReplyDeleteThey are such sinful looking devils!!!
ReplyDeleteYou are definitely guilty of making too many good foods. If I copy any more recipes from here, I will have to give up my job to make them and we do need that money.
ReplyDeleteWow, these looks dangerous, seriously dangerous.
ReplyDeleteWow bars look simply divine!
ReplyDeleteThese look very good. Oh so easy and I bet they were so tastey!
ReplyDeleteDoes the earthy smell of the woods count?
These look so delicious!
