reese's cookie bars

after easter and my birthday, we had wayyyyyyy too many

sweets around our apartment...so i decided to turn some into 

even sweeter sweets! :) brilliant right? those reese's eggs are too

good to be true, but we had like 20 left sitting on our coffee table

and i couldn't take it anymore...so i chopped them up, mixed up

a cookie bar dough, stirred them in, and ta-da: reese's cookie bars.

we ate them warm with milk and we were happy campers.

you could obviously substitute different candy bars, i think the

dough turned out just right where it forms a good bar texture.

but start with the reese's combo --- you won't regret it!

ingredients

1/2 cup coconut oil (or butter)

1/3 cup sugar

1/3 cup packed brown sugar

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 egg

1 1/4 cups flour

3/4 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

20 (170 grams) reese's peanut butter cups

directions

preheat oven to 350 degrees F. spray an 8 or 9 inch square pan 

and set aside. in a bowl, beat coconut oil (or butter), sugars, and 

vanilla until creamy. add in egg and beat.

in another bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. 

add the flour mixture in a little bit at a time, beating 

each time until well combined. unwrap and chop up reese's cups. 

then, stir them in by hand. press cookie dough into the 

square pan, bake for 20-25 minutes and enjoy!
