Crunchy Caramel Reese's Cookie Bars

SO basically... I just got back from a 5-day trip to Oklahoma. And you all know that traveling is the worst when trying to eat healthily!!

Crap.

But, I will hand it to the Oklahomans that they offer some pretty DARN good food.  There was nothing to do in that city except for walk around, and eat. basically.  So, consequently, the next month or so I will be working really hard to compensate for the extra, but glorious calories I consumed on my trip.

HOWEVER,

I must share this amazing recipe that I came upon last week.

This was before I went to OK, and i was feeling a sugar craving, and lo and behold, I came upon the most amazing chocolatey-peanut-buttery treat, EVER. I must share.

These things are DIVINE.  They can be found at this blog: Let's Dish  
Please make these, they will make you extremely happy!
