Tagalong Bars

March 19, 2014 by Jodie 16 Comments

Tagalong Bars

We love girl scout cookies at our house. And of course, our favorite is Tagalongs. Or Peanut Butter Patties, depending on where you live. I’m not sure why there is a difference in names. Probably just to confuse people.

Well, this year we didn’t have any girl scouts come to our house and my husband actually started begging me to make some. But taking the time to make more than just a few of the cookies sounded like a terrible idea. So, I took the same recipe that my husband had found and turned them into easy bars.

These are so good and so easy! We’ll be making these again soon, I’m sure. The only down-side to these is that it is very easy to eat the whole pan of them in a short amount of time.

      I agree, Erlene – it’s hard to beat chocolate and peanut butter!
