White Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Bars
Easy White Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookie Bars use a cake mix base and creamy peanut butter and are chock full of white chocolate chips.
The first time I made these White Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookie Bars it was because I needed a quick dessert and didn’t have time to make cookies from scratch. I like to keep a couple of cake mixes on hand just for times like this so that I have some easy options for treats to make. Using a cake mix makes it easy to whip up cookies without having to worry about measuring out a bunch of dry ingredients.
Now I know I promised this recipe last week but you may have noticed that it didn’t go up. Last week several fires broke out surrounding my city. One of those was close enough to put us on evacuation notice for the rest of last week. Thankfully we are off of evacuation notice but you can still see the smoke from the largest fire. Although I am grateful we are no longer in danger I am saddened that so many families lost their homes.
I like cookie bars over regular cookies because it’s so much less maintenance. No worries about getting cookies in and out of the oven every 8-10 minutes. They may take longer to bake but it leaves me with time to do other things like make dinner or get myself ready.
All you need to do is add some eggs and oil to the cake mix. Beat to combine and then add the peanut butter and mix again. Finally add a bag of white chocolate chips and mix again and then bake. If you wanted you could swap out the white chocolate chips with butterscotch or regular chocolate chips. For a group of peanut butter lovers White Chocolate Peanut Butter Bars, Peanut Butter and Banana Croissants, Easy Chocolate and Peanut Butter Croissants, and Triple Peanut Bar Cookies are a real treat. Just make sure you have a glass of milk handy!
