    Tagalong Bars

    I am not sure if I have been living in a hole these past few weeks or what, but I have not come across one girl scout selling cookies yet! To make matters worse, people are plastering pictures of their thousands of boxes that they just purchased and now consuming. Can you say jealous...ah YA!

    Tagalong Bars: Shortbread Cookies with Peanut Butter Filling and Chocolate Coating

    So, I took it upon myself to fill the void. The chocolatety, peanut buttery, shortbready aka Tagalong type of void. It is called being proactive, in case you were wondering. And you know what, I do not feel guilty at all, because next year I will have my own person Daisy. Considering how competitive I am, I am sure that we will have our own little "doomsday stash" to guarantee that my little girl sells the most cookies. I have problems...I know.

    Tagalong Bars

    Apparently I was not the only one needing to fill this void. After I baked these bars in a 9x13 in pan, I had to run a bunch of errands. When I came home, this is what I had left. About ¼ of the pan. Oy Vey.

      I'll admit this here - I am not a fan of Girl Scout Cookies. I buy them, put them in the freezer, and they remain there for the year. I need to start handing them out to people after I buy them. I used to love them! Now I find them as interesting as Oreos or Keebler cookies. I prefer what you made above!!! And I can't wait to make them!! Thanks!!!

        They still have a bit of nostalgia for me, which is why I keep buying them! Try these and let me know how they come out!

      This is great! We just got one box of tagalong cookies (yesterday) limiting ourselves to be disciplined. Now I know where our next tagalong fix is coming from. Thanks!

      I will have to try your version. My version of a tagalong is a ritz cracker topped with peanut butter then dipped in melted chocolate. I have been making this version for 20 yrs and is a big hit at holiday times. Thanks for a different view, will definitely try them.
