Chocolatey Peanut Butter Cookie Bars are a no-fail cake mix cookie recipe. These gooey cookie bars come together in a snap and are the perfect dessert for any occasion.

My two favorite ingredients, chocolate and peanut butter, unite in this oh-so-rich dessert! You’re going to want to pour yourself a glass of milk for this one… or maybe a scoop of ice cream 🙂

Have you ever spent hours on a cookie recipe only to have them spread in the oven and come out looking like little frizbees? To be honest, I’ve been known to use a pre-made cookie dough just to avoid the stress and heartache of ruining a perfectly good batch of homemade chocolate chip cookies. Well, not anymore! Today, I am sharing a simple cookie bar recipe that will make your heart and your belly very happy!

Sure, you could make cookie bars from scratch but I’m all about a good shortcut. That’s why, I use a box cake mix. You’re telling me a company literally puts together all the ingredients you need in a convenient little box? Pssssh. I take a small win wherever I can get one.

The best part is, there’s no need to let the dough rest in the fridge. You simply mix, press into an 8×8 baking pan and pop it in the oven. Once the cookies have cooled completely, you can drizzle a little extra chocolate over the top (you know, in case these bars aren’t chocolatey enough already).

We are really taking cookies up a notch.

These Chocolatey Peanut Butter Cookie Bars are a crowd pleaser, although you may not want to share! Follow this easy recipe below and show all your friends what a star baker you are.
