Tips:

  • Use quality peanut butter: The type of peanut butter you use will greatly affect the flavor of your dream bars. Choose a creamy, natural peanut butter that is made with 100% peanuts.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set: The cookies will continue to cook as they cool, so it's important to not overbake them. They should be slightly soft in the center when you take them out of the oven.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before cutting them: This will help them hold their shape and prevent them from crumbling.

Conclusion:

Peanut Butter Monster Cookie Dream Bars are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. With a combination of peanut butter, oats, chocolate chips, and marshmallows, these bars are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
