Tips:

  • For the peanut butter cup filling, use a good quality peanut butter that is not too runny. You want it to be thick enough to hold its shape when you scoop it into the cookie dough.
  • If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can test the cookie dough to see if it is done by inserting a toothpick into the center. If the toothpick comes out clean, the cookies are done.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before cutting them into bars. This will help to prevent them from crumbling.
  • Store the bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion:

These peanut butter monster cookie dream bars are the perfect dessert for any occasion. They are easy to make and always a hit with family and friends. The combination of peanut butter cups, chocolate chips, and oats makes them irresistible. So next time you are looking for a delicious and easy dessert, give these peanut butter monster cookie dream bars a try. You won't be disappointed!
