Are you guys so over my long tongue twister titles?
Gosh, I hope not because I just can’t seem to keep em simple.
I like em long and crazy. Can it just be my thing. Yeah, let’s just make it my thing. I have long titles and I like it.
Oh but wait, before we get to these bars can we just talk about the snow real fast??
I mean real fast.
I just have to say that I SO called it. Sunday I said the next cloudy day we get, it’s gonna snow and what do you know, it snowed yesterday. Yup, real snow. The white stuff. Look and see for your yourself.
I am ready for fall, but snow? No, not at all. I just want to see the pretty leaves, not the white. You know, it’s only September 23rd. What gives?
Oh well, at least I still have a couple of these bars left.
Now, I know this is kind of a lot in one bar, and honestly a lot for a Tuesday post, but I just got so excited about these that I had to share. I made these over the weekend and little by little just kept adding layers… upon layers.
I just wanted to pile them up high. I wanted texture, I wanted sweetness, I wanted a little crunch, a little chew, a little peanut butter and a lot of chocolate.
They are insane.
Easy.
Addicting.
Crazy.
Awesome.
The only reason the peanut butter cups happened was because I am the world’s biggest sucker for the holiday candies. I am the the worst with Christmas, but Halloween comes in a close second. I am honestly not a candy person, but the second they start putting out the pumpkin Reeses and orange M&M’s I am a done for.
I just cannot help myself.
I love holidays and I love their “themed” foods. It just makes me feel like a kid again.
I surprised myself though and did not give in to the Halloween candy until last week. I blame this mostly on the fact the I no longer take Asher to the grocery store with me since she is a big girl all the sudden and has school all day 🙁
While I do love not having to stop every two seconds to tell Asher to stop throwing every last thing into the cart, I have to say I miss my little shopping buddy.
Ok fine, I also miss the excuse to spend a good ten minutes in the Halloween isle. I kind of love that isle the most.
Alright, alright.
Let’s just talk about the bars already. First you have the cookie layer that is stuffed with peanut butter cups, then there is the cream layer, which I stole from my homemade peanut butter Oreos (so good) and then there is the caramel popcorn. Like I said, they are crazy.
But awesome.
And pretty easy too, just bake the cookies (so easy), beat the cream (even easier) and the make the caramel (pretty simple – promise). The hardest part is waiting for them to set. It’s like torture and I will not blame you if you need to dig in right away.
Cause we totally did. And loved every gooey bite.

Flavor overload! I love your insane creations Tieghan!
Thanks so much, Mimi!!
The creama layer. I want to live there. Oh and the salted caramel corn. And the cookie dough. These have it all going on!
Thanks Averie!
I can’t believe it’s snowing where you are! It’s still in the 80s in Los Angeles.
And these bars look spectacular. You could sell them and make millions.
It was so cold here this morning. In the 20’s!
Thanks Jackie!
Now these are some sweet dessert bars.
Thanks Meagan!
That’s it! I’ve had enough of your brilliance, Tieghan. If I can’t live in your Willy Wonka head, then I don’t want to live. Holy smokes, I am drooling over these bars! They are, quite literally, the PERFECT combination of sweet and salty. And the texture! Overload of awesome 🙂 and btw, I, too, am a sucker for holiday candy! You should see my pantry.. I hoard the stuff like it’ll never return.
Ha! I think we need to be best friend and live next door. Oh the things we could put together with our holiday candy! 🙂
Keep those tongue twister titles comin’ woman!! I am always blown away every time!
Thank Megan!
you serious outdo yourself everytime, I love it! I’d maybe throw in some sweetened coconut flakes on top, because ya know, this doesn’t already have enough going on! lol delish 🙂
Heck yes! Coconut on top? SHould have done that!
Seriously… Tieghan…Wow…I am amazed at how you out-do yourself with each of these creative goodies!!! My mouth dropped wide open when I read the title and saw the picture of this recipe. (As it does most days when I come and visit!) What a talent!!! xoxo
Awe wow! Thank you so much! You just made my not so awesome night so much better! 🙂
Oh my – these look incredible!
Thank you, Jessica!
If the recipes all look like these keep those tongue twisting titles coming! These bars look swoonworthy!
Haha! Thanks Pam!
You’re killing me, Tieghan! Another awesome recipe!! Yum yum… I love salted caramel.
Thanks Ali!
These sound so good! I never would have thought to use caramel popcorn like this!
Thanks Kevin!! I am sure you could think up some awesome way to use caramel corn though!
Wow! Seriously…how do you come up with these things?! I want your brain!
Thanks Laura!! My brain is pretty dead at the moment (meaning no ideas)! LOL! 🙂
Oh, my stars! Tieghan, you have outdone yourself…yet again. I am totally making these this fall and cannot wait! All of my favorites are here in one chewy bar. NOM-NOM! Thank you for sharing, girl. Pinning everywhere! xo P.S. My waistline hates you! Paleo? What paleo diet? Help. Me.
Ah yeah, I am probably not the dieters best friend!! Sorry, but maybe sometime soon I can come up with a lighter dessert. But I mean I did just post a salad yesterday! 🙂
These really are insane! Omg I can’t even imagine the palate explosion! I want, I want, I want!
Thanks Alaina!
