Sugar Cookie Reese’s Bars

Sugar Cookie Reese’s Bars are the ultimate easy holiday dessert for when you want maximum flavor with minimum effort. With fudgy chocolate cookie layers and sweet, crunchy sugar cookie Reese’s, every bite is a delicious mix of chocolate and peanut butter. I am a sucker for limited edition candies and snacks, so I had to give these sugar cookie Reese’s a try. They weren’t over the top and the perfect addition to these bars. Finish them off with a generous dusting of powdered sugar and they look as amazing as they taste. Bonus…no fancy skills required—just mix, layer, bake, and enjoy!

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line an 8” pan with parchment paper and spray with baking spray.
2. Make the cookie mix according to the package directions.
3. Add half of the batter to the pan and smooth it out.
4. Add the Reese’s over the batter in a single layer. Top with the remaining batter, spreading gently to cover it. I usually add dollops of dough and then smooth it the best I can. It doesn’t have to be perfect, the top with spread out when baking.
5. Bake it according to the mix instructions. Let it cool completely before slicing. Dust powdered sugar generously on top and then cut into pieces.

Looking for a dessert that’s ridiculously easy and insanely delicious? Meet your new favorite treat: Sugar Cookie Reese’s Bars! This recipe combines rich and fudgy chocolate cookie mix with the perfect sweetness of sugar cookie Reese’s. If you haven’t had these limited edition Reese’s before, they taste very similar to the regular candy with a hint of extra sweetness and a little crunch. After they’ve baked, add a dusting of powdered sugar on top, and you’ve got yourself a show-stopping dessert that’s low effort and very high reward! 

The process is as simple as it gets. Start by whipping up the cookie mix, then layer it with chopped sugar cookie Reese’s for that ooey-gooey, chocolate peanut butter center. The trick to getting that perfect top layer? Drop dollops of batter over the Reese’s and spread it gently—it doesn’t need to be perfect. The oven will do the rest of the work for you!

Once it’s baked, the hardest part is waiting for it to cool (but yes, absolutely you can eat it warm too). If you can wait until they’ve cooled, it’s worth it when you dust that final layer of powdered sugar. It’s a little extra sweet flavor without overpowering the bar itself. One bite, and you’ll be hooked!
