To make these Nutter Butter bars, I started by lining a 9 x 9 inch baking pan with parchment paper and sprayed it well with cooking spray.

Then I dumped some light brown sugar into a large mixing bowl.

I added some melted butter and an egg to the bowl.

I stirred the ingredients together well.

Then I added some vanilla extract to the bowl.

I also added some salt and smooth peanut butter to the bowl.

I stirred all of the ingredients together until smooth.

Then I added some all purpose flour to the bowl.

I placed some Nutter Butter cookies in a ziploc bag.

I used a rolling pin to crush the cookies.

Then I added the crushed cookies to the mixing bowl.

I stirred all of the ingredients together well.

Then I poured the mixture into the parchment lined baking pan and spread it out evenly.

I placed the baking pan in the oven and baked the blondies until a toothpick inserted into the center came up with just a few crumbs.

I set the pan aside while I prepared the chocolate topping.

I dumped some butter into a saucepan over medium heat.

Once the butter was melted, I added some granulated sugar to the pan.

I stirred the butter and sugar together well.

I left the butter and sugar mixture to continue cooking, stirring occasionally for three minutes.

Then I added some heavy cream to the pot.

I stirred well and brought the mixture to a boil.

Then I removed the saucepan from the heat.

I added some semi sweet chocolate chips to the pan.

I stirred until all of the chocolate chips were completely melted.

Then I poured the mixture over the peanut butter blondies in the baking pan.

I spread the chocolate mixture out evenly.

Then I placed some Nutter Butter cookies on top and gently pressed them down into the chocolate.

I left the Nutter Butter bars to set at room temperature for two hours.

After two hours I used the parchment paper to lift the peanut butter bars out of the baking pan.

Then I sliced and served the bars.
