I realize I’ve been a bit MIA, but lets make-up. To start, I bring you Man-Whore Bars. Remember Slutty Brownies? Well these guys make those look downright prude. These bars are appropriately named since they contains 4 desserts in one–2 cookies (chocolate chip and Oreos); candy (Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups); rice krispie treats; and chocolate ganache—plus more chocolate chip cookies for a final sprinkling.
Damn, right? I thought so.
Now more importantly, I’m on a mission to mainstream these like Jessica Simpson did for the Slutty Brownies on Katie Couric’s show. Which by the way, I birthed the cousin to those slut brownies with these Slutty Cheesecake Bars—seriously damaging stuff. But this–this, might be my all-time favorite over-the-top bar and the follow-up to the slutties.
So can I ask you guys a favor? {lease make these, pass them around and proudly refer to them as Man-Whores Bars, because maybe then they will reach Ryan Gosling who can then explain them to Katie.
Ah, you guys are fantastic. I’m so glad to be back, now let’s get busy and make some bars.

4. Place a layer of Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup on top of Rice Krispies layer. Next place Oreo on top of Reese’s cups. From there, spread remaining Rice Krispies mixture on top. (If Rice Krispies layer starts to harden reheat over low heat.
