INGREDIENTS

Cookie Layer:

1/2 cup butter, softened

3/4 cup light brown sugar

1 large egg

1  and 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Brownie Layer:

1/2 cup light brown sugar

1/4 cup butter, melted

1 egg

3 tablespoons cocoa powder

1/4 cup all-purpose flour

1/8 teaspoon baking soda

1/8 teaspoon salt

Garnish:

1/2 cup Chocolate Fudge Frosting (store-bought or homemade)

1 bag JUSTIN’S® Mini Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups

Assorted Halloween Candy and Sprinkles (optional)

DIRECTIONS

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 12-inch tart pan with removable bottom.

Cookie layer:

In a large bowl with an electric mixer, cream together the butter and brown sugar. Add the egg and beat until well-combined. Add the flour, salt, and baking soda to the bowl and mix until just incorporated. Fold in the chocolate chips. Transfer the dough to the prepared tart pan and press into an even layer; set aside.

Brownie layer:

In the same large bowl, stir together the sugar and melted butter. Whisk in the egg. Add the cocoa powder and mix until well-combined. Stir in flour, baking powder, and salt until batter is smooth. Pour the batter over the cookie layer and spread to cover completely.

Bake 25-28 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove from oven and cool completely in pan.

Spread the chocolate frosting in an even layer over the tart. Top with Mini Peanut Butter Cups, sprinkles, and other candies, as desired.

Great Summer Recipes
Chocolate Peanut Butter and Banana Oatmeal Cookie Bars on parchment papers on a black rectangular tray on a white background

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.

Peanut Miso Veggie Stiry Fry with chopsticks on a marbled plate and dipping sauce on a marbled countertop

This flavorful dish was inspired by my love for Asian cuisine. It’s entirely vegetarian and feels like a treat everytime I make it. The combination of zesty, sweet, and savory miso sauce over a bed of veggies and noodles, is the perfect dinner recipe for any night.

Paleo Almond Butter Crusted Chicken on parchment papers with cut baby tomatoes and lemon slices on a wooden serving tray

This Paleo Almond Butter Crusted Chicken is anything but average. I’ve added JUSTIN’S® Classic Almond Butter in the marinade to complement the chicken. I also use almond meal instead of bread crumbs and I promise you, the taste isn’t compromised. My family loves this recipe for dinner, and I think yours will too!
