Greek yogurt is all that and a bag of chips.

Ask anybody.

I’m sure you’ve noticed the craze. Greek yogurt recipes are all over the Internet. Butter is being substituted left and right. Pinkberry created Greek yogurt froyo. And some people are even standing in front of their fridges (or mini fridges, if you’re in a dorm like me) eating spoonfuls of yogurt from the container as we speak. And by some people, I mean my roommate.

I don’t judge her. Especially since I stand next to her with a jar of peanut butter in my hand and a spoon in the other. That’s the kind of relationship we have. The kind of relationship where I tell her I’ve never had Greek yogurt and she tells me to put the peanut butter down and come try a spoonful of tart heaven.

How can you say no to a description like that? You can’t. So, I tried a spoonful. And sadly, I wasn’t a huge fan. It’s way too tart for my liking. But, when I saw a recipe for Greek yogurt chocolate chip cookies, I decided to give it another shot. Maybe it would taste better mixed with something. Maybe, mixing it with cookie dough and white chocolate chips was the perfect solution. So, that’s what I did.

Normally I don’t skimp on dessert. I live by the ‘go big or go home’ motto when it comes to sweets, but I figured since bikini season is here, why not? What’s the worst that could happen?

Let me just tell you the worst that can happen. The worst is that, like me, you classify these cookies as “healthy food”, making it okay for you to eat half of the batch. In one sitting. Without sharing. Or stopping for a sip of milk. I’m not saying they taste like regular cookies or that they can replace your buttery-chocolate-chip-hot-out-of-oven cravings, but if you are looking for a lighter cookie, that you won’t feel guilty for eating, then these have your name all over them.

These cookies taste just like the top of a muffin. They are cakey, extremely moist, and very pillowly. The morsels of white chocolate add the perfect hint of sweetness and the best part is, unlike a muffin, these cookies are relatively healthy. So, feel free to eat two, seven, or the whole batch. Either way, I won’t judge you.

I think it’s time I shared something with you.

If you haven’t read my about me section, you don’t know about my love for affair with obsession with peanut butter. I consider peanut butter to be its own food group, as in I need to eat 6 giant spoonfuls a day in order to survive. I’m not even kidding. How could I be? Have you tasted peanut butter? It’s heavenly.

I don’t really remember when this obsession started, but I do know that almost anything with peanut butter is an automatic warning signal for my stomach to grumble with excitement, my mouth to water in anticipation, and my hands to blindly grab as much as possible. Think about it. Peanut butter sandwiches. Fabulous. Peanut butter M&M’s. Addicting. Peanut butter and bananas. Amazing. Peanut butter ice cream. Mouthwatering. And, then there’s peanut butter and Oreos.

I blame Parent Trap. I learned three things from watching this movie. First, I needed to come up with a ridiculously cool handshake for my best friend and I (you’ll be sad to know that fourteen years later, it’s still a work in progress). Second, Lindsay Lohan was a twin. I thought there were two of her and to be honest, I was really disappointed when I found out she was twinless. Third, peanut butter and Oreos are a must have.

So, of course, I had to try it, and now I can’t eat Oreos without peanut butter. It’s a real problem. Oreos are decent on their own, but smothering, covering, drenching, dipping, or drowning them in peanut butter is like walking on rainbows. You can’t help but smile as you bite the cookie and do a little happy dance as you eat it.
And since no one likes to dance alone, I’m slowly trying to convert the world into peanut butter and Oreo lovers. This is my first (and definitely not my last) attempt to convince you. These cookies taste exactly like dipping an Oreo into the jar of peanut butter. So, if you’re a fan of that, you’ll love these. The cookies are super soft and chewy with a little crunch from the crumbled Oreo pieces and have the perfect creamy peanut butter undertone. I suggest pouring yourself a large glass of milk, grabbing a handful of cookies, and preparing yourself for the huge smile that’s about to cross your face.

When you hear the word s’more, what do you think about?

Aside from the visual of beautifully golden crackers sandwiching melted Hershey squares and marshmallow gooeyness (did your mouth just water? Or is that just me?) two things immediately come to mind.

You can probably guess the first one. It’s a location and usually there are tents. If you said circus, try again, but if you said campsite, keep reading. S’mores make me think of camping with my grandparents when I was little. We used to sit around the fire on folded chairs, have fuzzy blankets thrown around our backs, and bent wires held in our hands roasting marshmallows to perfection. It sounds wonderful, right? Wrong. There is one problem with camping. And it’s bugs. I would be moments away from stuffing my face with a melted s’more sandwich when bugs would fly into my face, cuddle in my hair, or worse, perch on the my s’more claiming it as their own. Needless to say, I don’t go camping very much anymore.

I doubt you’ll guess the second thing that comes to mind. But, if you do, I’ll be so impressed that I’ll mail you a box of these delicious S’more Bites. Take a guess. What do you have to lose?

Did you guess the movie Sandlot? If yes, I need your address or better yet lets get together and eat these while watching that movie. S’mores also make me think of the scene in which Ham asks Smalls if he wants s’more and Smalls answers, “Some more of what? I haven’t had anything yet, so how can I have some more of nothing?” If you haven’t seen this movie, I highly recommend making a batch of these cookies and plopping down on the couch.

Now, my question to you is, would you like s’more?
These S’more Bites are the perfect way to get your s’more fix without having to deal with fire or bugs or camping. The bite itself is packed with chocolately flavor, both from the cakelike cookie and the added chocolate chips, a gooey marshmallow center, and a graham cracker crunch, which is swirled inside the bite and coated on the outside too. If you think the best part of a s’more is the middle part of the sandwich, then these cookies are a perfect fit for you. These bites really highlight the chocolate and marshmallow portion of a s’more, but fair warning they are extremely addicting…there is no possible way you won’t want some more.
