This caramel like cookie was very quick and easy to make. It was a huge hit with my kids as well. Before even finishing her first cookie my 4 yr old worriedly asked me if I had made more. When I told her we do have more and we can even make another batch this weekend. She jumped into the air like a little happy leprechaun. Then she sweetly adds, " I love you mom.. you are the best mom ever. " I'd have to say this cookie was a success.

I've been making these cookies for years and they are always a hit! A few years ago we were in a hurry to come up with a large quantity of goodies for a bake sale. I doubled the recipe, spread it evenly onto a jelly roll pan and cut them in squares after they were cooled. They were a sell out!!
This was the first recipe like this that I saw that didn't ask for chocolate morsels to be the binding agent. (plus an excuse to use my unopened corn syrup that taunted me from the cupboards since Christmas.)
I loved the peanut butter caramel like texture. Even my husband loved them and he's usually the sweets snob. This recipe is going in my book of favorite recipes. I think next time I may use crunchy peanut butter for my husband or mixed nuts instead of the chow mein. This fall when all the apples are crisp and ripe, I may also try caramel apples with the peanut butter mixture.
I'll have to try them as a bar. Maybe add a few things. I just can't help tinkering with recipes.
