Reese's PB Bars

I found this amazing recipe over at Inside BruCrew Life. They are soooo good, but then Reese's is just the BEST candy ever made and this has triple Reese's! I'm ready to make these again!
The Bars
1/2 cup unsalted butter
1 10 oz pkg reese's peanut butter chips
3/4 cup organic lt brown sugar
1 tsp vanilla
3 eggs
1 1/4 cups flour
1 cup reese's minis cut in half

The Frosting
4 Tbsp unsalted butter
1 tsp vanilla
6 Tbsp whipping cream
2 cups powdered sugar
1/4 cup dark cocoa powder

The Topping
reese's pieces
Lets start with the bars: Preheat oven to 350 and spray a 9x13 pan with nonstick spray.
In a small saucepan melt the butter over medium heat. Add the PB chips and stir until melted and creamy. Stir in sugar.
Remove from heat. In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs until frothy. Stir in a little of the pb mix at a time until it is all blended in. Add the flour and salt.
Mix until a soft dough forms. Stir in the halved reese's minis. Spread into prepared pan and bake for about 25 minutes. Cool completely (that's the really hard part). Next we'll make the frosting: In a medium bowl beat the butter and vanilla together until creamy. Add the whipping cream, powdered sugar and cocoa powder.
Continue beating until creamy. Spread over the bars.
Now top with desired amount of reese's pieces.
Cut into bars and enjoy with a nice cold glass of milk!

Whoopie Cookies

No, not whoopie pies but whoopie cookies! These cookies were the "test" for my oven after it's most recent repairs. It seems like this time they got it right. Yippee! Anyway, back to the cookies. I bought a roll of pre-made cookie dough for this test and decided to jazz them up a bit and make Whoopie Cookies! Super Yummy! Can't wait to make these again!

1 16.5 oz roll of chocolate chip cookie dough
1/2 cup whipped cream cheese
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
1/4 cup powdered sugar
2 Tbsp milk

Divide dough into 16 equal portions and bake according to directions on package.

Remove from oven and allow to cool completely. While cookies are cooling combine remaining ingredients in medium bowl and mix well.
Once cookies are completely cooled spread two tablespoons of peanut butter mixture on eight of the cookies.
Top with the remaining cookies. Enjoy!
