How to Make Layered Peanut Butter Bars Cookie Mix

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 13x9 inch baking pan.
In a large bowl, combine all cookie base ingredients (see below) and mix until a soft dough forms.
Press the dough evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan using your fingers.
Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until golden brown. Let cool completely (approximately 1 hour).
While the cookie base cools, prepare the peanut butter filling: In a medium bowl, beat together all filling ingredients (see below) with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
Once the cookie base is completely cool, spread the peanut butter filling evenly over the top.
Prepare the chocolate frosting: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine all frosting ingredients (see below). Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until smooth and melted. Let cool for 10 minutes.
Spread the cooled chocolate frosting evenly over the peanut butter filling.
Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the frosting to set.
Once set, cut into 36 (9x4) bars and enjoy!
