Wow, so many amazing, awesome, crazy things have been going on around here lately!!!

First off, if you haven’t noticed the button yet on the side bar over there–> , I won an award! Woo Hoo! If you’re shocked, multiply your reaction by 438574 and that is mine. It’s such an honor to receive recognition, and really quite a huge motivator. Thanks, Become!

Secondly,  my first Secret Recipe Club (SRC) post was overwhelmingly successful! You guys are seriously the best! Blogging is not easy by any means, whatsoever. However, it is super fun and very rewarding. My post was actually the most popular post out of our group! I wouldn’t have been able to done it without the amazing blog I was assigned, Life and Kitchen.

I can not even stress enough how thankful I am to have such wonderful readers. You guys truly rock!! I honestly have no idea what direction I’m heading sometimes when I’m writing a post, then I feel like I just published a huge piece of poop. But then you guys still comment such nice things anyways! :)

The blogiverse is like one big happy family, that is what makes all the blood sweat and tears (slight exaggeration) worth it. Love you all!

Now enjoy this delicious bar recipe that is inspired by the famous Girl Scout Cookie, the Samoa! Please excuse my messy cutting!! 

This photo above was taken the first day, these are much better the second day and days to follow. They are also easier to cut as you can see by the pictures after this one.

Enjoy!

I’ve made Tagalongs before and I’m not gonna lie, they were pretty darn amazing. They are perfect for those rainy days where you’ve got a bit of time to spare. But what if you are absolutely dying for a Tagalong and don’t have the time!?Do I sound like an infomercial yet?? ;)  But seriously, this is a really quick and EASY recipe!! Plus, you know it’s gonna be good when Tagalongs is in the name. Am I right???I’ve professed my love for Tagalongs before, but I’ve just gotta give those babies my love one more time. They have the absolute perfect ratio of peanut butter to chocolate to cookie. They’ve always been my favorite and always will be. Girl Scouts- Job well done ladies, job well done.The chocolate will seem super liquidey so it will look like that up there^. Just let it sit in the fridge for a couple of hours and allow it to set up nice!Ahh all done. I seriously wanna dig into my computer right now….even though I could take approximately 6 steps to the fridge and eat another. But I’m lazy. I guess that means more for me on the next trip! ;)

Tagalong Cookie Bars

(adapted from Wee-Eats)

For the cookie layer

  • 1 cup (2 sticks) butter, room temperature
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • ¼ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons milk

For the peanut butter layer

  • 1 2/3 cups creamy peanut butter
  • 2/3 cup confectioners’ sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

For the chocolate layer*

  • 6 ounces  (1 cup) semi sweet chocolate, coarsely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon light corn syrup
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened, cut into cubes

For the cookies:

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  2. Whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  3. Beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in vanilla extract and milk. Add flour and mix on low until just incorporated.
  4.  Press into bottom of 13×9 pan until it reaches the edges, leaving a slight lip on the edges.
  5. Poke holes in shortbread with a fork and bake at 350 degrees F for about 20 minutes, until lightly golden on top. Cool completely on wire rack before topping.
  6. Beat the peanut butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla until mixed. Spread over shortbread layer.
  7. Melt chocolate, butter, and corn syrup in a double boiler. Pour over peanut butter layer and place in fridge to harden.

Notes:

*If you’re lazy you can use just melted chocolate, about 7 or 8 ounces will cover it.
