1 pouch (1 lb 1.5 oz) Betty Crocker™ peanut butter cookie mix
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 tablespoon water
1 egg
1/3 cup light corn syrup
3 tablespoons butter or margarine, softened
3 tablespoons peanut butter
1 tablespoon plus 1 1/2 teaspoons water
1 1/4 teaspoons vanilla

3 1/2 cups powdered sugar
1 bag (14 oz) caramels, unwrapped

I would have liked the cookie base to be a little softer.

These didn't turn out well for me. The cookie base was too dry and the chocolate ganache was too runny. I think I might have overcooked the cookies.

I made these last night and they turned out great! The only thing I changed was using dark chocolate instead of semi-sweet. They were so good that they didn't even last 24 hours!

These peanut butter cookie candy bars were an absolute hit with my family! They're so delicious and easy to make. I love the combination of the chewy peanut butter cookie base and the rich chocolate ganache. I will definitely be making these again so
