You know those desserts that disappear before you’ve even had a chance to sit down? Yep, these Chubby Hubby Peanut Butter Bars are one of those! They’ve got that sweet-salty magic combo — buttery graham cracker crumbs, melty peanut butter chips, a swirl of honeyed sweetness from the condensed milk — and somehow, they just work.

They’re rich, chewy, and totally addictive in the best way. Perfect for game night, movie night, or a “just because” treat when the sweet tooth hits!

Dessert Bars: A Coping Mechanism

We had been packing our rental home for weeks, a little every single day to try to be completely ready for our move into the home we’ve been renovating. I cannot even begin to express our exhaustion. It was just like building a home with the constraints of not having spaces designed the way you would have, secret issues under walls and floors and on top of it, running two businesses, kids and all while trying to pack up our entire house to move.

One random Thursday I felt emotional, exhausted and well, hungry. I’m apparently an emotional eater. A long time ago I’d seen a recipe and it was so short I’d memorized it: 1 box of crackers, 2 cans sweetened condensed milk, chocolate chips of choice. So, on a whim I went peanut butter and cinnamon chips because they secretly go together like pb and j and the rest is history. Dessert born out of emotional instability, just the way I like it!

My peanut butter blossoms are everyone’s classic holiday cookie in bar form! Our kids love that they’re both fun and easy to make! These chewy peanut butter cookie bars are studded with Hershey kisses which make everyone so happy.

My favorite part is that they are easier than cookies; no rolling needed, just slice into bars and serve! Bonus, this recipe includes a how-to video!

Our son was begging for us to make “those Hershey kiss cookies” but I had been running around all day and though it may sound silly, the thought of rolling out every single cookie sounded exhausting; so I made them all in a pan and they turned out adorably delicious!!
