Loaded REESE'S Cookie Bars image

Peanut butter-chocolate candy lovers, waste no time in making these bars for yourself and anyone else who loves that classic flavor combination. These fun bars start with a base of Betty Crocker™ chocolate chip cookie mix that gets an extra chocolaty kick of HERSHEY'S cocoa, plus peanut butter chips and colored sprinkles. After that gets spread into a pan, the fun really starts: REESE'S PIECES candy and peanut butter-filled REESE'S baking cups are added on top before baking. Once they're out of the oven, a drizzle of melted peanut butter chips finishes these irresistibly fun and indulgent bars.

Overall, I thought these cookie bars were pretty good. They were easy to make and they tasted good, but they weren't anything special.

These cookie bars were a bit too rich for my taste. I think I would have preferred them if they had a little less chocolate.

These cookie bars were a bit too dense for my liking. I think I would have preferred them if they were a little more cakey.

I didn't have any peanut butter cups, so I used chopped peanuts instead. They still turned out great!
