Caramel Peanut Butter Slice

Caramel Peanut Butter Slice is a gooey, chewy, buttery and oh-so-delicious peanut butter cookie bar stuffed with caramel sauce and speckled with white chocolate and chocolate chips.

You guys! If you love peanut butter, these bars are for you! When I say these are peanut butter cookie bars, I mean they are PEANUT BUTTER cookie bars. They are sweet and filled to the brim with peanut butter goodness.

To make these cookie bars or slice even better I added two types of chocolate. I was just going to add white chocolate as I feel the peanut butter and white chocolate combination just POPS, I thought ‘what the heck’ and added regular chocolate because why not?

Now I am obsessed with peanut butter and caramel together. I feel these flaovurs just compliment each other and I’m not a caramel fan. I of course used my homemade caramel sauce recipe (you can make it salted or not). You can substitute this sauce with a store bought caramel sauce but the sauce really does come together in a flash so I recommend making your own.

Like all my peanut butter based recipes, I use an all natural peanut butter as I prefer all natural but you can use a regular peanut butter if you prefer or if that’s what you have on hand, just ensure the peanut butter is smooth not crunchy.

I love these bars so much that I doubled the recipe and made a big batch all for myself. Greedy? Yes. Worth it? OH YES! This recipe calls for an 8″x8″ baking pan but if you double the recipe I baked mine in a 7″x11″ pan.
