Peanut Butter S'more Bars

This is the recipe for the dessert we had at family night this week. I usually like recipes where I already have most everything on hand, and I don't normally have M&Ms and the cookie dough but this will be a good once-in-a-while treat that the girls really like. It's really easy and Nikki did a great job helping.

1 tube (16 1/2 oz.) refrigerated peanut butter cookie dough
3 1/2 cups miniature marshmallows
3/4 cup chocolate chips
2 tsp. shortening
1 1/2 c. M&Ms

Let dough stand at room temp. for 5-10 minutes to soften. Cut into 24 slices; arrange side by side in an ungreased 13 x 9 baking pan. Pat together to close gaps.

Bake @ 350 degrees for 18-20 minutes or until lightly browned and edges are firm. Sprinkle with marshmallows; bake 2-3 minutes longer or until marshmallows are puffy.

In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt chocolate chips and shortening; stir until smooth. Sprinkle M&Ms over marshmallow layer; drizzle with melted chocolate. Chill until set before cutting.

Thanks! Now I know why they look so good! I've already printed both these out and have them hanging on my fridge for a test run! =)
