Snickers Cookies Bars
These Snickers Cookies Bars are made with a shortbread base, caramel, chocolate, and peanuts. This easy cookie bars recipe is super simple. What could be better? You’ve got the (super easy) shortbread crust, the (super gooey) caramel and peanut center, and the (super rich) chocolate topping. Does that sound like heaven or what? It tastes just like a Snickers bar, but even better because it’s a cookie bar! Get ready for a major sugar rush with this delicious candy bar cookie recipe. You won’t be able to stop eating them!
This cookie bars recipe tastes just like Snickers and they are just so delicious. To be honest, these cookie bars taste a bit like a cross between Twix and Snickers. That shortbread base just reminds me so much of Twix candy bars. So if you don’t like peanuts, you can totally leave them out and make these Twix Cookie Bars instead! Win win in my opinion, although I do like the extra texture and taste of the peanuts. This Snickers Cookie Bar recipe is the perfect combination of cookie, caramel, peanuts, and chocolate. Just like the candy bar but in cookie form! The perfect treat!
