Peanut Butter Cup Gooey Cookie Bars 🍪

A Nostalgic Bite of Midwest Comfort

I might blush when I say this, but I’m obsessed with this dish.
Oh, the charm of a rural Midwestern kitchen! Our Peanut Butter Cup Gooey Cookie Bars bring me right back to those summer afternoons at Grandma’s house. Long before anyone thought of trendy dessert bars, we were whipping up gooey, peanut-buttery creations that became family favorites. These bars celebrate the sweet simplicity of Midwestern cooking, combined with the joys of modern indulgences like peanut butter cups. Perfect for a church potluck or a cozy family gathering, they promise comfort and a touch of nostalgia with each bite.

These delicious bars are a treat on their own but pair wonderfully with a tall glass of cold milk or a warm cup of coffee. If you’re serving them at a gathering, consider adding a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side. For a touch of freshness, a simple fruit salad with strawberries and blueberries makes a delightful complement.
