Chocolate Peanut Butter Bars

I made these the other day and they were terrific. I will try making hem with dark chocolate next time because that is Shane's favorite.  


Ingredients 

• 1 1/2 sticks unsalted Butter, melted
• 2 cups crushed Pretzels
• 1 1/2 cups Powdered Sugar
• 1 1/4 cups Creamy Peanut Butter
• 1 1/2 cups Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips

Instructions

• Spray an 8x8 baking pan with cooking spray. Set aside. 
• Place melted Butter, Pretzels, Powdered Sugar, and 1 cup Peanut Butter in a large bowl. Mix until well combined. Spread evenly into baking pan. 
• Place Chocolate Chips and remaining 1/4 cup Peanut Butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat on HIGH power in 30 second increments, stirring between each, until melted and smooth. Pour over bars and spread with a spatula to evenly coat. Chill for at least 1 hour to set, slice into bars.

Sticky Bars

A few weeks ago, a good friend of my family passed away. She was a huge influence on me and was the one who introduced me to some great foods such as Pepperoni bread. She also made the most delicious dessert ever that she called Ooey Gooey. When I heard the news I immediately went out and bought the ingredients for Pepperoni Bread. Unfortunately, I have no idea what was in her Ooey Gooey but I gave it a try. My version is not even a little bit close to hers. I was initially disappointed but everyone that tired these thought that they were tasty.

Ingredients
20 finely ground Oreos
1/2 stick Butter
1/2 cup Macadamia Nuts
1 cup Coconut
1 (14 ounce) can Sweetened Condensed Milk
1/2 cup Butterscotch Morsels
1/2 cup Semi- Sweet Chocolate Chips

Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350 F.
2. Melt butte in 13x9 baking dish. Remove from oven. Pour Oreos over the bottom of the pan. Pressing the mixture down onto the bottom of the pan to form a crust.
3. Sprinkle Macadamia Nuts and Coconut over the top.
4. Pour Sweetened Condensed Milk evenly over the top.
5. Top with Butterscotch and Chocolate Chip Morsels.
6. Bake for 20 minutes. Cool and cut into bars.

Featured Beer

When I made these I was enjoying a Winter Warmer Ale by Elevator Brewing Company. Long story short, this six pack did not last long.
