Does anyone watch Bachelor in Paradise? I have to admit this show is a serious guilty pleasure. It’s crazy! Unfortunately, I feel like I have to watch The Bachelor and The Bachelorette in order to know the people in paradise.  I am totally into this season so far and there has only been one episode!

Seriously though, this show is coo-coo.  Chad needs therapy and I am not sure watching him unravel for entertainment is helpful to anyone. The Canadian whose name I can’t remember (Dan?) is SO awkward, plus how is Canadian a profession? I hope they all find love if that is possible on a TV show, but I am rooting for anyone who has returned from previous paradise seasons!

Are you hooked on Bachelor in Paradise too? I’d love to hear your thoughts!!

Peanut Butter Heath Cookies are a great snack to enjoy while watching Bachelor in Paradise! These cookies are soft and chewy with a delectable sugar crunch on the outside. They’re loaded with peanut butter and an entire bag of Heath English Toffee Bits. It’s an awesome explosion of flavor in your mouth!

Let’s talk soft and chewy. Peanut Butter Heath Cookies are soft and chewy because they are loaded with two cups of peanut butter! That is DOUBLE the “typical” amount of peanut butter in a standard peanut butter cookie. They also have a full cup of brown sugar, which also adds moisture to the batter.

Peanut Butter Heath Cookies also have a bit of crunch to them but it’s not because they are a crunchy cookie. The cookie dough is rolled in granulated sugar before being baked, which gives the outside a little crunch. There is also a wee bit of crunch when you bite into a Heath English Toffee Bit. Don’t let that dissuade you; it gives these awesome-sauce cookies a little something extra that you don’t want to miss!

Heath English Toffee Bits! These are seriously AWESOME! I can’t wait to add them to more recipes and I already have a few up my sleeve. If you are a Heath fan these are a serious MUST in your baking repertoire. Peanut Butter Heath Cookies use the entire 8-ounce bag of Heath English Toffee Bits, which amounts to about 1 and ⅓ cups. No measuring cup is needed, just dump the whole bag in!

Not a Heath fan? You’ll still LOVE these Peanut Butter Heath Cookies. The Heath is subtle enough to not be overwhelming but enough to give these cookies a flavor boost that is totally worth adding!

And there it is folks, Peanut Butter Heath Cookies – a peanut butter heath cookie to rival all peanut butter heath cookies! 😉
