These cookie bars are made with oatmeal, peanut butter, and chocolate chips. The base is salty and sweet, and the topping is very sweet! Not sure why they are called candy bar cookies though. They do not taste like any candy bars we've ever had. Maybe it's because the peanut butter chocolate coating tastes like candy (similar to Reese's), and, they are BAR COOKIES. Put them together and what do you have? Candy Bar Cookies! :o)
