Chocolate Hazelnut Peanut Butter Bars
One of my favorite things about this recipe is it’s dump and go! You can literally add all but one of the ingredients to the mixing bowl at the same time. If you prefer and have more time, you can make these into sandwich cookies. To make sandwich cookies, just roll the batter into equally sized balls, mash with a fork and bake for 8 to 10 minutes on a greased cookie sheet. Allow the cookies to cool completely. Spread half the cookies with 1 teaspoon of the chocolate hazelnut spread. Place another cookie on top of the spread. Wrap the cookies individually.
For the quick (and easier!) way, spread the cookie dough across the bottom of a 9″ by 13″ baking dish. Allow the mixture to bake at 350 degrees for 8 to 10 minutes or until cookies are brown, but still soft. Remove the tray from the oven and allow the cookies to cool completely. Drizzle chocolate hazelnut sauce on top. I used Rigoni Di Asiago Nocciolata DAIRY FREE Organic Hazelnut & Cocoa Spread
Printable Recipe:
- 1 cup (8 ounces) brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 2 eggs
- 2 cups (16 ounces) peanut butter
- 1/2 cup (4 ounces) chocolate hazelnut spread
- Mix brown sugar, vanilla, eggs and peanut butter until blended. Place mixture into a 9″ by 13″ baking dish and spread evenly. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until mixture is lightly browned, but still soft.
- Remove dish from oven and allow cookies to cool. Slice cookies into bars.
- Warm 1/2 cup of the chocolate hazelnut spread in the microwave for 30 seconds. Remove chocolate mixture from microwave and drizzle over peanut butter bars.
- These are good served warm or at room temperature.
