Payday peanut butter cookie bars topped with mini Mr. Goodbars

I wanted to go a little outside the box with incorporating candy into my treats, so i picked up some payday bars

And mini mr goodbars. 

I mixed in some cut up  paydays in a peanut butter cookie bar recipe, baked them and gently pressed in mini mr goodbars right after removing them from the oven. Perfectamundo, to paraphrase the Fonz, Arthur Fonzarelli.

Remember to scoop your flour from your flour bag into your measuring cup so you get the right amount.   Preheat your oven before baking.
