Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Popcorn Ball Bars



Don't let the mouthful of a title fool you!  These are easy to make and delicious!  This was the other dessert that I made for the dedication lunch.

Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Popcorn Ball Bars

2 (16 oz.) pkg. refrigerated cookie dough
3 c. mini marshmallows
1 (3.3 oz.) bag popcorn, popped (about 10 cups) - remove all remaining unpopped kernels
2/3 c. Karo syrup
1/2 stick butter
1 (10 oz.) bag peanut butter chips
1 c. chocolate chips

In a 9x13 baking dish, press cookie dough into bottom of pan.  Bake 10-15 minutes at 350 until puffed and edges are golden brown.  While baking, heat Karo, butter and peanut butter chips over medium-low heat until melted.  Sprinkle marshmallows on top and return to oven for 1-2 minutes until puffed.  Pour melted peanut butter mixture over popcorn and mix well.  Spread on top of marshmallows and push down if necessary.  Melt chocolate chips in microwave and then put in sandwich bag with end snipped.  Pipe on top of popcorn mixture.  Allow to set.  (I gave mine overnight.)  Cut into bars and serve.
