Cuckoo for Cookie Bars

I’ve been on a cookie bar kick ever since a reader sent me this recipe: Salted Nut Bars.

I made them right away and thought I’d died and gone to heaven. They are hands-down the best cookie bars I’ve ever had. They’re made with a cake crust with toppings of melted butterscotch chips, marshmallows, Rice Krispies, and peanuts. They are to die for and I swore I’d never make them again because I was afraid I really would kill myself eating them. Then I made them again. Because I couldn’t help myself.

I’m lucky I’m still alive.

I’ve been wanting to make these Avalanche Bars ever since they were posted by Lisa, so I tried to break my Salted Nut Bars obsession with them. It’s another Rice Krispies-based bar with white chocolate, chocolate, peanut butter, and marshmallows.

Again, to die for. Which is what turned my Salted Nut Bars obsession into a full-blown cookie bar problem.

Then I had these Crispy Peanut Butter Bars with peanut butter, chocolate chips, and peanuts at Georgia’s sister’s house.

Why, why, have all these cookie bars come into my life? I fear for my waistline. And I don’t want to fear alone, so I feel compelled to share the goodness with you. I’ve been saving cookie bar recipes to my recipe box left and right. Here is a sampling of some more of the delicious addictiveness available on Farm Bell Recipes:
