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.
