From Our Recipe Box to Yours...

     My daughter is a junior in high school and it seems that this year more than any others, I've been enlisted to provide bars for fundraisers.  This week we had two different ones. So, what do people want to buy? The easiest ones, I could make at home, so why buy them? The harder ones, I don't necessarily have time to make. I have a bit of a conundrum. I've been browsing allrecipes.com and different sites through Pinterest. I settled on hopefully something that is kind of easy, yet looks really yummy so that people will want to buy it!! Besides...who doesn't love peanut butter?!

The recipe I found can be located at http://www.sixsistersstuff.com/2014/08/peanut-butter-cookie-dough-brownie-bars.html

Peanut Butter Cookie Dough Brownie Bars
 Author: Six Sisters Stuff

Ingredients 
Brownie Mix for a 9x13 pan
¼ cup salted butter, softened
½ cup peanut butter + 6 Tablespoons of peanut butter (JIF is my favorite!)
 ½ cup granulated sugar
1 cup brown sugar ¼ cup +
2 tablespoons milk
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
2 cups all purpose flour
2 cups of Peanut Butter M&M's

Instructions 
1. Cook your brownies as the directions on the box suggest.
2. Once they are out of the oven, take 3 Tablespoons of peanut butter and gently spread it over your warm brownies. Let them sit and cool.
3. With an electric mixer, cream the butter and peanut butter until smooth.
4. Add the sugar, brown sugar, milk and vanilla, and mix until smooth. Carefully add the flour, and continue to mix at low speed until fully combined.
5. Spoon the cookie dough onto the cooled brownies and spread gently into an even layer.
6. Sprinkle on all of the M & M's so they are spread out across all of your brownies.
7. Melt the last 3 Tablespoons of peanut butter in the microwave (about 30 seconds) and drizzle over your brownies.
8. Slice into squares. (These are very rich so you might want to cut them into small squares)
9. Cover and stick in your refrigerator until you are ready to eat them!
