S’Mores Cookie Peanut Butter Oat Bars

These S’Mores Cookie Peanut Butter Oat Bars are no bake and taste like a granola bar with a cookie crust!  I used S’Mores Girl Scout cookies to make these bars, but I will give you other cookie options, if you don’t have extra boxes of Girl Scout cookies laying around like I do (please tell me I am not the only one who buys WAY too many Girl Scout cookies every year?!).  These bars are a quick, fun dessert that would be perfect to have on hand for a snack!

Healthier Caesar Salad with Healthy Caesar Vinaigrette
