Ingredients

  • 1 roll (16.5 oz) refrigerated Pillsbury™ Peanut Butter Cookie Dough
  • 3/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • 3/4 cup M&M’s™ milk chocolate candies
  • 1/2 cup old-fashioned oats
  • 1/4 cup chopped cocktail peanuts

Steps

  • 1
    Heat oven to 350°F. Line 9-inch square pan with foil, allowing some to hang over sides of pan.
  • 2
    In large bowl, break cookie dough into small chunks. Stir in 1/2 cup of the chocolate chips and the remaining ingredients until well mixed. Press mixture in pan.
  • 3
    Bake 19 to 24 minutes or until top is golden brown and toothpick inserted 2 inches from side of pan comes out almost clean. Cool 30 minutes.
  • 4
    In small microwavable bowl, microwave remaining 1/4 cup chocolate chips uncovered on High 30 to 60 seconds, stirring until melted. Transfer melted chocolate to small resealable food-storage plastic bag; cut small corner off one end of bag, and drizzle on top of bars. Cool completely, about 3 hours, or until chocolate is set. Remove bars from pan; cut into 4 rows by 4 rows.

Tips from the Pillsbury Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Lining your pan with foil helps for easy removal and less cleanup for you!
