Chubby Hubby Bars

I can't remember the exact moment when I tasted Ben N Jerry's Chubby Hubby ice cream, but I do know that it has always been my favorite. "Fudge Covered Peanut Butter Filled Pretzels in Vanilla Malt Ice Cream Rippled with Fudge & Peanut Butter." The only thing that would make it better is some toffee in there. So when I saw Cookies and Cups' recipe for Chubby Hubby bars, I knew I had to make them.

The recipe is a cookie base (basically chocolate chip cookie dough without the chocolate chips).

Add some chopped pretzels and peanut butter cups (I know, that cutting board is brand new. Not):

Press into a pan and bake. Then pour melted caramel:

And melted chocolate:

What? Awesome.

Cut in fairly small pieces cuz they're pretty rich. And also, if they're in small pieces, you won't feel as bad eating like 10 of them.

I don't know why, but I thought they were better the second day. Salty, sweet, chewy, crunchy... everything you could want to satisfy your sweet tooth! Check out the recipe here!

TWD- Peanuttiest Blondies

After this cake last weekend, I wasn't much in the mood for running to the store for the things I didn't have for this recipe- non-natural (unnatural?) peanut butter and peanuts. Dorie says not to use natural peanut butter, but I did and it was really good. These blondies are great- the texture reminded more of a bar cookie than blondies/brownies, though. And my baking time was about half of what the recipe calls for. I loved the addition of cinnamon in these!

Bakeologie had the recipe!
