Ingredients
- 35 Lorna Doone shortbread cookies
- 10 ounces peanut butter chips
- 4 ounces almond bark
- 1/3 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Line a 9x13" pan with foil and place Lorna Doone cookies in a single layer in the pan.
- Melt peaut butter chips in a microwave safe bowl. Stir every 30 seconds until melted.
- Spread in an even layer across the cookies. Allow melted peanut butter chips about 15 minutes to set-up
- Melt almond bark and semi-sweet chocolate chips in a microwave safe bowl. Stir every 30 seconds until melted. Spread as evenly as possible over peanut butter layer.
- Allow 1 to 2 hours for chocolate to set-up. Use foil to remove cookies from pan and break into bars the size of the Lorna Doone cookies to enjoy.
Notes
- Allow time to set-up in between peanut butter and chocolate layers
- Allow more time for chocolate to set up before serving
- We like to serve by just breaking the pieces into squares that are roughly the same size as the Lorna Doone cookies
- If you are in a hurry this dessert sets up more quickly in the refrigerator
- You can try to make a pattern in the melted chocolate, but since they will be eaten in small pieces it doesn’t really matter that much
- Can be stored on the countertop in an airtight container, but if it’s very warm they will last a couple of days longer stored in the refrigerator
