Ingredients

1½ cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
⅓ cup butter
¼ cup peanut butter
½ cup brown sugar
¼ cup granulated sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
⅓ cup chocolate chips
4 Reese’s chopped
6 ounces sweetened condensed milk (½ can)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350º F. Grease an 8x8 inch baking pan or line with parchment paper.
Combine flour, baking soda, and salt in a small mixing bowl and set aside.
Melt the butter and peanut butter together. Using an electric mixer, beat the granulated sugar and brown sugar until combined.
Whisk in the egg and vanilla.
Stir in the flour, baking soda and salt until fully combined.
Stir in the chocolate chips.
Press ⅔ of the cookie dough mixture into the prepared 8x8-inch baking pan. Set the remaining cookie dough aside.
Then add the chopped Reese’s.
Drizzle with sweetened condensed milk.
Top with remaining cookie dough. It’s okay if it doesn't cover. Drop by hand or spoonful and gently press to smooth.
Bake for 25 minutes, until it begins to brown around the edges.
Remove from oven and let cool.
Cut, serve and enjoy!

Notes

Leftovers should be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days. If stacking bars place a piece of parchment paper between layers to prevent sticking.
