Maple Butterscotch Cookie Bars

These oatmeal cookie bars are made with maple peanut butter and butterscotch chips to make an irresistible dessert!

Happy Oatober!

Aren’t peanut butter and oats just made for each other?

Think about it–peanut butter oatmeal cookies, peanut butter granola, peanut butter granola bars…

They’re a match made in heaven, right next to mint and chocolate, coconut and lemon, and maple and butterscotch.

So, it only makes sense to use maple peanut butter, oats, and butterscotch chips to create a cookie bar that some have said change lives (change, save–whatever).

Say it with me: Maple Butterscotch Cookie Bars.

It doesn’t get much better. When I’m right, I’m right.

There are two things that make these cookie bars extra special, and are probably the reason these taste like magic:

1. Peanut Butter & Co’s Mighty Maple
2. Bob’s Red Mill Organic Old Fashioned Rolled Oats

I’ve had a sweet spot for Peanut Butter & Co. after visiting their sandwich shop in NYC. It’s quaint, cozy, and is a brilliant concept–if you’re ever in NYC, you have got to stop there! You won’t regret it.
