This is a very nice recipe-made from items in my pantry..I wanted to make something special for Father's Day Dessert.....The next time I think I will try strawberry jam instead of the peanut butter...just because it will be pretty. My kitchen torch was nowhere to be found so I could not torch the top..I'll have to check around for it..LOL You could also use a box of graham crackers instead of the cookies.....and nuts instead of the chocolate chips...

yield 9 to 12
prep time 35 Min
method Refrigerate/Freeze
