Extreme Bookies

So, a couple of weeks ago I blogged about Bookies. (1/2 brownie, 1/2 cookie) Check them out if you haven't yet because they were so good. So good, I couldn't get them off my mind. I decided to take it up a notch. Oh-boy what a notch!
Picture please:

So here's the dish on how you make these. I hope you have plan for hiding them because once your family/friends/coworkers get a taste - you're going to have to work hard to keep them to yourself.

What you'll need:

1 brownie mix and oil/water/eggs to make mix

1/2 batch of back to school cookie dough

12 Oreo's (I used double stuffed because let's be honest we aren't trying to save any calories here)

1 7 oz jar of marshmallow cream

What you do:

Prepare the brownie mix according to package directions. Pour into the bottom of a 9 x 13 inch, greased pan. Lay Oreo's in batter. Drop spoonfuls of marshmallow cream between Oreo's but don't let it touch the side. Roll out cookie dough like you would sugar cookies. Lay it accross the top of the Oreo/cream/brownie  layers. Bake at 350 for about 20-25 minutes or until cookie dough is golden brown. Cool before serving. (Or, for heaven's sake, grab a large spoon and just dig in. Oh, darn, I just had a wicked thought. Top with chocolate ice cream and hot fudge.) 

Love Bars

If you love peanut butter...

If you love fudge...

Then you're going to love these cookie bars. I think they are actually called Peanut Butter Fudge bars but my kids thought that was WAY to boring of a name for such a delicious treat.

Side note: don't they look lovely in this jar? I hesitate to cut things baked in pans because they tend to dry out faster. However, this beautiful jar keeps them fresh as daisies.

Side note #2: I just had a thought. Maybe I could be one of those ladies that collects cookie jars! Yeah. I'm thinking 10 should do it. One for each season, one elegant one for entertaining, one everyday one for the kids and one hippie-chic one just to make me smile.

So go make yourself some Love Bars and if you see any great cookie jars let me know!

What you'll need:

1 pkg golden vanilla cake mix
1 cup creamy peanut butter
1 extra large egg
1/4 cup butter
1 can sweet and condensed milk
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Beat together cake mix, peanut butter and egg. Press 2/3 of the mixture (save the rest) into a greased 9 x 13 pan. Bake at 350 for ten minutes.

In a medium sized sauce pan, melt butter, milk and chocolate chips over low heat. Pour over baked crust. Top with the remaining 1/3 of peanut butter mixture and bake for 20-25 minutes or until light tan. Cool on wire rack.
