My ideas:
I usually don’t purchase honey roasted peanuts (or any nuts in any respect to be trustworthy) however I purchased some to make the Halloween Chex Combine with so I’ve been snacking on them. I discovered they have been even higher if I combined them with darkish chocolate chips (so apparent! peanut butter and chocolate is traditional) however consuming bowls of chips and nuts appeared slightly unseemly in some way. So I believed I’d make them extra acceptable (and shareable!) by turning the combo into cookies. I’ve made a variety of drop cookies this yr and some spritz so I believed I’d make bar cookies as an alternative. Good, thick, chocolate-y cookies. I used all darkish brown sugar to provide it a little bit of a chewy texture which I really like. The chocolate is superior in fact and retains the entire cookie from being too candy regardless of the sweetened nuts. The nuts add a pleasant toasty be aware and a contact of honey taste.,
