Another obsession, another beautiful day thanks to Reese's Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars! This super easy bar recipe uses a yellow cake mix + 2 ingredients + milk chocolate chips, peanut butter chips and mini Reese's peanut butter cups!
Most of the world is infatuated with Reese cups

They are perfectly comforting to my tongue! Peanut butter, milk chocolate, buttery, sweet, extraordinary....pleasurable delightfulness! I'm in a good place right now!
Ingredients needed for Reese's Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars
- 1 box yellow cake mix, like Pillsbury
- eggs
- vanilla
- melted butter
- almond milk milk, cream or water will also do
- salt
- milk chocolate chips
or semi-sweet chocolate chips if you want it not as sweet
- peanut butter chips
- Mini Reese Cups
or peanut butter cups of choice
How to make Reese's Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars
- Take an 8x8
or 9x9 pan, and spray with a nonstick spray
. (For thicker 8x8 and thinner 9x9, I prefer the thicker, as pictured.)
- Using mixer or by hand, mix cake mix, salt, eggs, vanilla, milk, melted butter until combined.
- Fold in chocolate chips, peanut butter chips and Mini Reese Cups.
- Spread batter into the pan and smooth out with an angled spatula that has been sprayed with a non-stick spray or use lightly spray hands with non-stick spray and press into pan. Dough will be very sticky.
- Barely press some chocolate chips and Reese Cups into the top of the cookie. The bars will rise, so you don't want to push them deep into the cookie batter.
- Bake at 350 for 25-30 minutes, until light golden brown.
- Allow to cool completely on cooling rack before cutting.
Lining your baking pan with foil or parchment paper
left over from holidays or if you just want to use them up. Just cut them up into chunks and add them in! Modify these easily with whatever candies or chocolate chips
to make them your style. Sprinkles
are allowed!

Cathy says
I'd like to try using peanut butter instead of butter - would it be the same amount?
