Slow Cooker Peanut Butter Cookie Bars
Did you know you can make cookie bars in a slow cooker? I was so excited to learn how versatile my slow cooker is with making desserts. In fact, I threw everything together before church and when I came home my kitchen smelled wonderfully of the most delicious peanut butter sweet treat. This method is especially great if you're wanting to keep your oven free for other parts of your meal but want to have a warm dessert ready right after dinner. Want to make the cookie bars even better? Top them with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. YUM!
