We did it, we combined everyone’s favorite flavors into one perfect cookie bar. Chocolate? Check. Peanut Butter? That too. Banana? You know it. Oatmeal? Obviously. Plus, these could not be any easier to make. You only need one bowl and no crazy ingredients. The hardest part of making these cookie bars will be waiting for them to cool.

Great Summer Recipes
Chocolate Dipped Cookie Dough Stuffed Grahams stacked on a white background with chocolate syrup drizzle and coconut shavings
Cookies are great, but cookie dough is better. This “cookie dough” takes an egg-less approach to cookie dough and stuffs it between two crunchy graham crackers and dunks it in melted chocolate. Chocolate-Dipped “Cookie Dough” Stuffed Grahams are made with JUSTIN’S® Maple Almond Butter and are a great treat for the entire family.
