recipe: chocolate peanut pretzel cookie bars

i've made these a few times - they are one of the easiest (literally just throwing ingredients in a pan) and yummiest cookie bars, perfect for a quick dessert. the original recipe, Chocolately Peanut Pretzel Bars is from allrecipes.com. once you have the base of cookie dough, really you can through whatever cookie fixins you want on it depending on what's around / craving. 

ingredients list: 

- 2 & 1/2 cups Nestle cookie dough tub, divided (or homemade if you're not being lazy)

- 3/4 cup chocolate chips

- 3/4 cup Reeses pieces

- 1 cup mini pretzels, broken into 1/2 inch pieces

- 1 cup honey roasted peanuts

to make: preheat oven to 350 degrees F. grease 13x9 inch baking pan. place 2 cups dough into the pan, and pat down so the bottom of the pan is fully covered. 

sprinkle the chocolate chips, pretzels, peanuts, 1-inch blogs of remaining dough, and Reeses pieces over dough.

bake for 23 to 27 minutes or until it starts to brown around the edge. cool completely then cut into small squares for serving.
