First off, thank you so much for your patience while I took a bit of time off after having my baby girl. She is absolutely beautiful and so sweet. She rarely ever cries and she has such a pleasant demeanor. We are so grateful to have her here safely and be able to snuggle her. It has been so hard to put her down! I just want to cuddle her all day long!

Before I had her, I went on a cooking spree and have so many delicious recipes to share with you, today being one of those!

Truth be told, and I have shared it with you before, I am not a huge peanut butter fan. I know, I am probably crazy but it is not my favorite thing. HOWEVER, these Chocolate Peanut Cookie Bars have me singing a different tune! Seriously. I could not stop devouring these delicious cookie bars and neither could anyone else who tried them!

If you are looking for a simple and tasty treat, give these beauties a try! They do not disappoint!
