Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup Cookie Bark

A few weeks back, when I made brownie bark, I was already envisioning other varieties.  I knew that peanut butter cups would HAVE to be involved.

So, when my kids requested cookies for a lunch box treat, the first thing that popped into my head was cookie bark with peanut butter cups.

I used  my trusty old Nestle Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe, and made just a few minor tweaks.

{replacing half of the butter with Greek yogurt, and of course replacing the chocolate chips with mini peanut butter cups}

The bark in not quite as crunchy as the brownie brittle, but still delicious, and it’s a fun twist on a classic cookie.
