Peanut Butter Toffee Chocolate Chip Cookies
Soft, chewy, and loaded with peanut butter, toffee bits, and melty chocolate chips, these cookies are the ultimate addition to your fall baking lineup. A drizzle of melted chocolate and a final sprinkle of toffee on top take them from “great cookie” to “can I have the recipe?”
I originally created these cookies when I was going through my pantry and found some leftover chocolate chips and toffee bits. With a big jar of peanut butter sitting nearby, the combination came together almost instantly. The result was a cookie with big flavor—and a name to match!
My husband sampled one while they were cooling and declared them the best peanut butter cookie he had ever tasted. That was all the encouragement I needed!

Peanut Butter Toffee Cheesecake Brownies are a decadent dessert created from a box of brownie mix.
These Peanut Butter Toffee Cheesecake Brownies combine everything I love about a really good dessert: rich chocolate brownies, creamy peanut butter, crunchy toffee bits, and a smooth chocolate ganache topping.
They are rich and decadent, but they are also surprisingly easy to make because the brownie layer starts with a boxed brownie mix. The peanut butter cheesecake layer is spread over the brownie batter before baking, then the cooled brownies are finished with chocolate ganache and more toffee bits.
The result is a beautiful layered brownie that is perfect for holiday baking, dessert tables, potlucks, parties, and any occasion when you need a dessert that will serve a crowd. Continue reading PEANUT BUTTER TOFFEE CHEESECAKE BROWNIES
