I may have said this before … but I’ll say it again – I love cookies. One of my favourites has always been the original chocolate chip cookie. And if there’s a batch being cooked, my wife has said I have radar for cookies and always seem to appear when cookies come out of the oven,So the idea of cookies have always intrigued me – especially when combining two of my favourite flavours – chocolate and peanut butter. Thus the Wookie Cookie and now this “Candy” Bar, which combines those flavours in a bar form. It’s fun and easy and seems to be a hit with my kids at least.

Amazing I made a batch of PB cookies last week for my wife to take to work, but alas she works in a chdricale centre and Peanut Butter products are banned (children’s allergies etc). a0These variations should be great. TY
That’s awesome – I have a similar situation at the day job and my kids’ school with the Nut Free environment! I feel your pain especially since I happen to love PB …
