Peanut Butter S'mores Bars

(Courtesy of Taste of Home)

Ingredients:
1 tube (16.5 oz.) refrigerated peanut butter cookie dough
3 1/2 c. miniature marshmallows
3/4 c. milk chocolate chips
2 tsp. shortening
1 1/2 c. milk chocolate M&Ms

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Let dough stand at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to soften.  With floured hands, press dough into an ungreased 9x13 baking pan.  Bake 18-20 minutes or until lightly browned and edges are firm.

Sprinkle with marshmallows; bake 2-3 minutes longer or until marshmallows are puffy.

In a microwave, melt chocolate chips and shortening; stir until smooth.  Sprinkle M&Ms over marshmallows; drizzle with chocolate mixture.  Refrigerate until set before cutting.

Note~  I made this for a 4th of July reunion and they were a huge hit.  I noticed the cookie dough warmed up quickly when I was putting it in the pan to spread it out so I threw it in the freezer for a bit halfway through spreading the dough so that it would not keep sticking.
