Tips for Making the Perfect Layered Peanut Butter Bars

  • Use fresh cookie mix. Old cookie mix may not rise properly and may result in a dry, crumbly texture.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the bars tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Press the cookie dough firmly into the pan. This will help to prevent the bars from falling apart when you cut them.
  • Bake the bars until they are just set. Overbaking will make the bars dry and crumbly.
  • Let the bars cool completely before cutting them. This will help to prevent them from falling apart.
  • Store the bars in an airtight container at room temperature. They will keep for up to 3 days.

Conclusion

Layered peanut butter bars are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a dessert that everyone will love. So next time you're looking for a sweet and satisfying snack, give these bars a try.
