<p><a href="http://picky-palate.com/2012/01/30/inside-out-rice-krispie-chocolate-chip-cookies/img_0239sm/" rel="attachment wp-att-19469"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-19469" title="IMG_0239sm" src="http://picky-palate.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/IMG_0239sm.jpg" alt="" width="525" height="670" /></a></p>
<p>Please do not ask me where this idea came from, I have no explanation for my crazy ideas.  I had no idea how a warm cookie wrapped in rice krispie treat would turn out, but after one bite I knew I had a winner!  Not only is this totally adorable and will have everyone talking, it is no kidding&#8230;.so delicious.</p>
<p>I created the recipe for one giant serving which actually serves 8 small servings.  The beauty is, you can use whatever size cookies you would like.  Just form your rice krispie rounds according to the size of your cookies.  See my note at the bottom of the recipe.  You can stuff about anything inside these fun cookies.  I also tried brownies, but will be trying Nutella, Peanut Butter, Biscoff and a whole bunch of other fun things <img src='http://picky-palate.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Hope you enjoy!</p>
<p><a href="http://picky-palate.com/2012/01/30/inside-out-rice-krispie-chocolate-chip-cookies/img_0160/" rel="attachment wp-att-19470"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-19470" title="IMG_0160" src="http://picky-palate.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/IMG_0160.jpg" alt="" width="450" height="675" /></a></p>
<p>I whipped up a small batch of rice krispie treats.  My biggest tip for you is work fast.   Have everything measured out before you start.  This will make all the difference in the world <img src='http://picky-palate.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><a href="http://picky-palate.com/2012/01/30/inside-out-rice-krispie-chocolate-chip-cookies/img_0153/" rel="attachment wp-att-19488"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-19488" title="IMG_0153" src="http://picky-palate.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/IMG_0153.jpg" alt="" width="700" height="466" /></a></p>
<p>I created another giant chocolate chip cookie recipe for you.  It&#8217;s all prepared in one bowl.  And might I add it is incredible by itself, so take note <img src='http://picky-palate.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />   Let this baby cool for 10 minutes before preparing the rice krispie portion.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><a href="http://picky-palate.com/2012/01/30/inside-out-rice-krispie-chocolate-chip-cookies/img_0168/" rel="attachment wp-att-19471"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-19471" title="IMG_0168" src="http://picky-palate.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/IMG_0168.jpg" alt="" width="700" height="466" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Melt those beautiful marshmallows until perfectly puffed.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><a href="http://picky-palate.com/2012/01/30/inside-out-rice-krispie-chocolate-chip-cookies/img_0172/" rel="attachment wp-att-19472"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-19472" title="IMG_0172" src="http://picky-palate.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/IMG_0172.jpg" alt="" width="700" height="576" /></a></p>
<p>Here&#8217;s where you need to work quick.  Stir the cereal and marshmallows then take half and form into a nice round as you see below.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><a href="http://picky-palate.com/2012/01/30/inside-out-rice-krispie-chocolate-chip-cookies/img_0179-2/" rel="attachment wp-att-19473"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-19473" title="IMG_0179" src="http://picky-palate.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/IMG_0179.jpg" alt="" width="700" height="547" /></a></p>
<p>You will press your rice krispie a little wider than the size of cookie you are using.  I am using a large cookie, so I made an even wider circle.  Get it?  Ok, good <img src='http://picky-palate.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p style="text-align: center;">Ahhhhh, crazy right?!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://picky-palate.com/2012/01/30/inside-out-rice-krispie-chocolate-chip-cookies/img_0186/" rel="attachment wp-att-19475"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-19475" title="IMG_0186" src="http://picky-palate.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/IMG_0186.jpg" alt="" width="700" height="466" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">I love these crazy cookies.</p>

<p style="text-align: center;">Place the second half of krispie treat mixture on top and&#8230;.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://picky-palate.com/2012/01/30/inside-out-rice-krispie-chocolate-chip-cookies/img_0194/" rel="attachment wp-att-19477"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-19477" title="IMG_0194" src="http://picky-palate.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/IMG_0194.jpg" alt="" width="700" height="680" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">&#8230;<strong>spray your hands with cooking spray</strong> then quickly press and seal edges around cookie.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://picky-palate.com/2012/01/30/inside-out-rice-krispie-chocolate-chip-cookies/img_0195/" rel="attachment wp-att-19478"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-19478" title="IMG_0195" src="http://picky-palate.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/IMG_0195.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="673" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">You&#8217;ll find the cooking spray on your hands is a necessity <img src='http://picky-palate.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://picky-palate.com/2012/01/30/inside-out-rice-krispie-chocolate-chip-cookies/img_0225sm/" rel="attachment wp-att-19479"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-19479" title="IMG_0225sm" src="http://picky-palate.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/IMG_0225sm.jpg" alt="" width="700" height="466" /></a></p>

<p style="text-align: center;">I tried the same technique with some brownie bites too.  Equally as fun and delish!</p>

<p style="text-align: center;">I cut the rest of my giant cookie into 8 wedges so I could share.  How fab is this?!</p>

<p>I fully admit I have an addiction of making cookies.  It is one of my favorite things to do.  Probably because the options are endless, I just love creating new ideas, lol!  When I was strolling through the Valentine&#8217;s Candy isle at Target last week, I quickly saw these lovely Raspberry Kisses and knew I was whipping up something fabulous with them.</p>
<p>These cookies turned out so lovely.  The texture, the flavor, it&#8217;s all in check.  There&#8217;s a bit of a peanut butter and jelly flavor going on with these cookies.  Try them for yourself.  These got rave reviews, enjoy!</p>

<p>I had so much fun creating these cookies at my Father-in-law&#8217;s house over Christmas Break.  Reed has got the absolute best pantry in the whole world.  I am talking treats galore.  The first thing the kids do when they get to Grawpa Reed&#8217;s house is run straight to the pantry to see what they can find.</p>
<p>These cookies are a creation straight from Reed&#8217;s pantry.  I walked inside, grabbed some ingredients I thought would be perfect for a fun new cookie.  I had Reed help me make them and they were delicious!</p>

<p>A few weeks ago I was in NYC for literally less than 24 hours and one of the only things I was able to squeeze in other than what I was there for was a visit to Serendipity for one of my favorite treats&#8230;..the Frozen Hot Chocolate.  It is massive, chocolaty and perfectly ice-y.</p>
<p><a href="http://picky-palate.com/2012/01/12/frozen-hot-chocolate-serendipity-style/serendipity/" rel="attachment wp-att-19139"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-19139" title="serendipity" src="http://picky-palate.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/serendipity.jpg" alt="" width="700" height="411" /></a></p>
<p>When I got back home I told the boys all about the treat I had and said I would re-create our own version!  So&#8230;..I got to work <img src='http://picky-palate.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>Here is your line up.  Please add one more hot chocolate to the picture.  I ended up using 5 packets.  Use your favorite brand of hot chocolate mix.  I used the Trader Joe&#8217;s brand of cocoa.  This literally takes 5 minutes to make, not kidding.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p style="text-align: center;">I had my little guy hop on the counter and help whip the cream and sugar.   Whip it until perfectly creamy.</p>

<p style="text-align: center;">Let&#8217;s start with the milk.  Pour it right into the blender.  PS&#8230;..LOVE my Blendtec!</p>

<p style="text-align: center;">Give it a good blend!</p>

<p><a href="http://picky-palate.com/2012/01/09/giant-hershey-kiss-stuffed-chocolate-chip-cookies/kiss-1/" rel="attachment wp-att-18931"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-18931" title="Kiss 1" src="http://picky-palate.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Kiss-1.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="654" /></a></p>
<p>Who would have thought my crazy idea of stuffing a giant Hershey Kiss inside of my cookie dough would turn out so fabulous!  I totally expected the kiss to still be a kiss inside, but it turned into what I like to call a chocolate molten cookie.  The chocolate oozed out like a dream!</p>
<p>Now&#8230;. I swiped the giant Kiss from my mom&#8217;s house over Christmas Break but I am assuming with Valentines Day right around the corner that you can still find these giant kisses at your local drug stores, grocery stores, Targets etc&#8230;  I have spotted them specifically in Walgreens.</p>
<p>Alright enough talking for me, let&#8217;s take a look!</p>
<p><a href="http://picky-palate.com/2012/01/09/giant-hershey-kiss-stuffed-chocolate-chip-cookies/img_9136/" rel="attachment wp-att-18932"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-18932" title="IMG_9136" src="http://picky-palate.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/IMG_9136.jpg" alt="" width="700" height="466" /></a></p>
<p>First things first.  The dough I used was chilled overnight.  I suggest doing the same so the cookie holds it&#8217;s shape around the kiss <img src='http://picky-palate.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />   My Kiss box is beat up because I swiped it straight from my mom&#8217;s, into my suitcase <img src='http://picky-palate.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />   Thanks Mona!!</p>
<p><a href="http://picky-palate.com/2012/01/09/giant-hershey-kiss-stuffed-chocolate-chip-cookies/img_9147/" rel="attachment wp-att-18933"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-18933" title="IMG_9147" src="http://picky-palate.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/IMG_9147.jpg" alt="" width="550" height="659" /></a></p>
<p>It&#8217;s kinda hard to see how big the kiss really is, so I had my little guy go grab a Lego dude.  Gives you a better idea.  I&#8217;d say it&#8217;s about 2 1/2 inches tall.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://picky-palate.com/2012/01/09/giant-hershey-kiss-stuffed-chocolate-chip-cookies/img_9151/" rel="attachment wp-att-18934"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-18934" title="IMG_9151" src="http://picky-palate.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/IMG_9151.jpg" alt="" width="700" height="538" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Love!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://picky-palate.com/2012/01/09/giant-hershey-kiss-stuffed-chocolate-chip-cookies/img_9166/" rel="attachment wp-att-18935"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-18935" title="IMG_9166" src="http://picky-palate.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/IMG_9166.jpg" alt="" width="450" height="675" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Here we go&#8230;.cookie dough on the bottom&#8230;.</p>
<p><a href="http://picky-palate.com/2012/01/09/giant-hershey-kiss-stuffed-chocolate-chip-cookies/img_9170/" rel="attachment wp-att-18936"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-18936" title="IMG_9170" src="http://picky-palate.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/IMG_9170.jpg" alt="" width="700" height="466" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Cookie Dough around sides and top.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://picky-palate.com/2012/01/09/giant-hershey-kiss-stuffed-chocolate-chip-cookies/img_9173/" rel="attachment wp-att-18937"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-18937" title="IMG_9173" src="http://picky-palate.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/IMG_9173.jpg" alt="" width="450" height="675" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Seal it up ever so gently and time to bake!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://picky-palate.com/2012/01/09/giant-hershey-kiss-stuffed-chocolate-chip-cookies/img_9181/" rel="attachment wp-att-18938"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-18938" title="IMG_9181" src="http://picky-palate.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/IMG_9181.jpg" alt="" width="700" height="523" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Perfection!  See the tip of the Kiss?  So fun.</p>
<p><a href="http://picky-palate.com/2012/01/09/giant-hershey-kiss-stuffed-chocolate-chip-cookies/kiss-2/" rel="attachment wp-att-18939"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-18939" title="Kiss 2" src="http://picky-palate.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Kiss-2.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="666" /></a></p>
<p>Had I waited for the cookie to cool completely I kinda think the kiss would have held it&#8217;s shape, however who cares when you have this fabulous milk chocolate running out?!  I only made one giant cookie, but am assuming you could get about 12 giant cookies.  You could use the regular kisses for a smaller, equally as adorable cookie <img src='http://picky-palate.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />   Enjoy!</p>

<p>I love these muffins for so many reasons.  The most important reason is they really are soft, sweet and delicious.  Another reason I love these beauties is that there is no butter or oil!  &#8230;&#8230;so you know, a little less guilt when you are munching <img src='http://picky-palate.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

<p><a href="http://picky-palate.com/2011/12/28/cinnamon-mm-oatmeal-chocolate-chip-cookies/img_8165/" rel="attachment wp-att-18724"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-18724" title="IMG_8165" src="http://picky-palate.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/IMG_8165.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="700" /></a></p>
<p>Over Christmas break last week, I was shopping with my mom and I spotted these fabulous Cinnamon M&amp;M&#8217;s.  I knew right away I had to bake a fun cookie with them!  My first thought before I tried the M&amp;M&#8217;s was that they were going to be spicy, but they are very mild.  It&#8217;s the normal milk chocolate center with a hint of cinnamon.  I really enjoyed them.</p>
<p>As my mom and I were making these cookies, I posted about them on Instagram (my obsession) and come to find out my good friend <a href="http://www.twopeasandtheirpod.com/" target="_blank">Maria of Two Peas and Their Pod </a>  made about the same cookies over Christmas break too <img src='http://picky-palate.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />   It&#8217;s no secret that Maria and I LOVE baking cookies and it seems we have the same great taste in cookies <img src='http://picky-palate.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />   We decided to post our Cinnamon M&amp;M Cookies on the same day&#8230;.today!  Make sure to check out Maria&#8217;s cookie too on her fabulous blog:)</p>
<p>Hope you can pick up a bag of Cinnamon M&amp;M&#8217;s, my mom and I found ours at Target.  I need to stock up on a few more bags to take home!</p>
<p>Now&#8230;..let&#8217;s talk cookies.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://picky-palate.com/2011/12/28/cinnamon-mm-oatmeal-chocolate-chip-cookies/img_8006-2/" rel="attachment wp-att-18725"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-18725" title="IMG_8006" src="http://picky-palate.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/IMG_8006.jpg" alt="" width="450" height="675" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Here are those yummy M&amp;M&#8217;s.  I am assuming they are out for the Holidays, so if you can&#8217;t find them, traditional M&amp;M&#8217;s work great too:)</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://picky-palate.com/2011/12/28/cinnamon-mm-oatmeal-chocolate-chip-cookies/img_8023/" rel="attachment wp-att-18726"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-18726" title="IMG_8023" src="http://picky-palate.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/IMG_8023.jpg" alt="" width="450" height="675" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Nothing crazy here, start by creaming your butter and sugar.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://picky-palate.com/2011/12/28/cinnamon-mm-oatmeal-chocolate-chip-cookies/img_8030-2/" rel="attachment wp-att-18727"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-18727" title="IMG_8030" src="http://picky-palate.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/IMG_8030.jpg" alt="" width="450" height="675" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Add your granulated sugar too <img src='http://picky-palate.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

<p style="text-align: center;">I used milk chocolate for these cookies, but use whatever your family enjoys!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://picky-palate.com/2011/12/28/cinnamon-mm-oatmeal-chocolate-chip-cookies/img_8121/" rel="attachment wp-att-18735"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-18735" title="IMG_8121" src="http://picky-palate.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/IMG_8121.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="657" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">The dough was to die for, you gotta try a little!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://picky-palate.com/2011/12/28/cinnamon-mm-oatmeal-chocolate-chip-cookies/img_8135/" rel="attachment wp-att-18736"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-18736" title="IMG_8135" src="http://picky-palate.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/IMG_8135.jpg" alt="" width="700" height="396" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">I like to add my M&amp;M&#8217;s right on top of the cookies rather than add them to the dough, but whatever you prefer is fine.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://picky-palate.com/2011/12/28/cinnamon-mm-oatmeal-chocolate-chip-cookies/img_8152/" rel="attachment wp-att-18737"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-18737" title="IMG_8152" src="http://picky-palate.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/IMG_8152.jpg" alt="" width="700" height="466" /></a></p>

<p>My favorite part&#8230;..it&#8217;s prepared in one little bowl.  No mixer&#8230;.minimal dishes, YES!  If you ever get that craving for a single cookie, this will be your new go to cookie.  The dough is done in under 5 minutes.  Fabulous.</p>

<p>Christmas is coming&#8230;.and fast.  I wish I could hit a pause button right now and soak up all of the festivities just a little longer.</p>
<p>I was like a giddy school girl when I cut into these bars last week.  The gooey goodness coming out of them should be illegal, lol!</p>
<p>York Peppermint Patty&#8217;s are perfectly nestled in between two layers of buttery crisp yet perfectly chewy cookie dough layers for a thick knock out bar.</p>
<p>Run, don&#8217;t walk to your kitchen and get baking these monstrous treats.  Enjoy!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://picky-palate.com/2011/12/12/peppermint-patty-surprise-chocolate-chunk-cookie-bars/img_6648/" rel="attachment wp-att-18356"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-18356" title="IMG_6648" src="http://picky-palate.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/IMG_6648.jpg" alt="" width="700" height="466" /></a></p>

<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://picky-palate.com/2011/12/12/peppermint-patty-surprise-chocolate-chunk-cookie-bars/img_6750-2/" rel="attachment wp-att-18365"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-18365" title="IMG_6750" src="http://picky-palate.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/IMG_6750.jpg" alt="" width="700" height="466" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Peppermint Patty time!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://picky-palate.com/2011/12/12/peppermint-patty-surprise-chocolate-chunk-cookie-bars/patties/" rel="attachment wp-att-18366"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-18366" title="patties" src="http://picky-palate.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/patties.jpg" alt="" width="700" height="351" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Layer the bag over the first layer of dough, then top with your remaining dough.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://picky-palate.com/2011/12/12/peppermint-patty-surprise-chocolate-chunk-cookie-bars/img_6767/" rel="attachment wp-att-18367"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-18367" title="IMG_6767" src="http://picky-palate.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/IMG_6767.jpg" alt="" width="700" height="466" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Press evenly.</p>

<p style="text-align: center;">Like so, now time to bake!  350 degrees F. for 40 minutes, until golden and baked through.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://picky-palate.com/2011/12/12/peppermint-patty-surprise-chocolate-chunk-cookie-bars/img_6830/" rel="attachment wp-att-18369"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-18369" title="IMG_6830" src="http://picky-palate.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/IMG_6830.jpg" alt="" width="700" height="466" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">How pretty is that?</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://picky-palate.com/2011/12/12/peppermint-patty-surprise-chocolate-chunk-cookie-bars/img_6849/" rel="attachment wp-att-18370"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-18370" title="IMG_6849" src="http://picky-palate.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/IMG_6849.jpg" alt="" width="700" height="466" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">After I pulled the foil away, found this little fabulous corner.  Yum!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://picky-palate.com/2011/12/12/peppermint-patty-surprise-chocolate-chunk-cookie-bars/img_6869sm/" rel="attachment wp-att-18371"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-18371" title="IMG_6869sm" src="http://picky-palate.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/IMG_6869sm.jpg" alt="" width="700" height="466" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">The trick is, you MUST let these cool completely, which might seem like forever (about an hour).  They have to finish setting up in the middle.  Trust me, I was impatient <img src='http://picky-palate.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

<h2>Peppermint Patty Surprise Chocolate Chunk Cookie Bars</h2>
</div>
<div class="paper-mid">
<div class="paper-text">
<p>2 sticks unsalted butter, softened</p>
<p>3/4 cup granulated sugar</p>
<p>3/4 cup packed light brown sugar</p>
<p>2 large eggs</p>
<p>1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract</p>
<p>3 cups all purpose flour</p>
<p>1 teaspoon baking soda</p>
<p>3/4 teaspoon kosher salt</p>
<p>12 ounce bag chocolate chunks</p>
<p>12 ounce bag of York Peppermint Patties</p>
<p>1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. and line an 8&#215;8 inch baking pan with foil that has been generously sprayed with cooking spray.</p>
<p>2. Place butter and sugars into the bowl of a stand or electric mixer. Beat until creamy and light. Add eggs and vanilla beating until well combined.</p>
<p>3. Place flour, baking soda and salt into a large bowl, mixing to combine then slowly add to wet ingredients. Add chocolate chunks and mix until just combined. Transfer half of dough into prepared baking pan, pressing evenly. Place unwrapped peppermint patties over first half of cookie dough. Place remaining half of cookie dough over peppermint patties, pressing to flatten dough. Bake for 38-45 minutes or until baked through. Be sure to Let the cookie bars cool completely before cutting into squares. Takes about an hour. Be patient, it is finishing setting up!!</p>
<p>4. Cut cooled bars into squares and serve.</p>
<p>Makes 12 bars</p>
<p>**Note: If you would like a thinner bar, use the same recipe plus one more bag of Peppermint Patties and arrange in a 9&#215;13 inch baking dish.  Watch baking time after 25-30 minutes in the larger pan.  Enjoy!**</p>

<p>Christmas baking makes me so happy.  There is nothing like the sweet smell of gingerbread baking in your oven, I&#8217;m telling you, it&#8217;s the best!</p>
<p>I just love these little bars I whipped up earlier this week.  This is my first recipe coming from our new home!  I am still getting unpacked, but it&#8217;s so great to start fresh in a fun new neighborhood.</p>
<p>Hope you will enjoy my sweet Holiday bars that are perfect for any Christmas plate for family and friends.  Have a great day!  xoxo</p>
