Peanut Butter Bars

Preheat oven to 375 F. In a large bowl, beat Crisco with peanut butter, milk and brown sugar until creamy. Beat in egg. Add flour, salt and baking soda, mix until thoroughly combined.

Press cookie dough into a lightly greased 15×10 baking sheet. Bake in a 375 F oven for 18-22 minutes, until browned. Remove pan from oven and set it aside.

While baking, heat condensed milk with butter in a saucepan over low heat until warmed. Remove from heat, whisk in peanut butter morsels and stir until melted. Pour over the warm cookie layer. Immediately press candy garnish into the top layer. Allow to set, about one hour. Slice and serve!!

*I store cut cookie bars in a Ziploc freezer bag for my kid’s lunches. The color of the candies may change slightly, but they taste delicious!
