Happiness is…
*cool summer mornings where you need a blanket to snuggle under
*little hands reaching for yours when you go for a walk
*hearing your kids playing and getting along…for a while:-)
*kissing your husband
*going to Goodwill and finding fun photo props
*fun baking supplies in the mail
*planning a party with your daughter
*doing what you love
*finding boxes full of baking bananas at the grocery store
*baking cookies (or anything for that matter)
*REESES in any shape or form:-)
*combining bananas and Reeses into the best cookie ever!
Seriously these cookies were amazing!
Chocolatey, fudgey, banana bread like, chock full of peanut butter cups, and Reeses pieces…
do I have you convinced you NEED to bake these cookies in the very near future???
I had to break out the stretchy pants after these because I Could.Not.Stop!!!
One after the other kept going into my mouth
and I didn’t even care…seriously that’s what the pants were for!
You did see how many peanut butter cups and pieces are in these, right??
Don’t mess with my and my Reeses…
and after seeing that my most popular recipes involve peanut butter and Reeses of some sort…
I’m thinking you all like them just as much as I do:-)
So, really, these cookies were for you.
I just had to taste test them to be sure they were ok for you:-) hee hee!
And now that there are no cookies left…I guess you better go bake your own…
and then go hide in a closet with a big plateful
because after you taste these…
you won’t want to do anything but stuff your face with them.
Honest!!!
Still craving more Reeses?
Maybe one I can tempt you with one of these recipes:-)

These look so good and like, ET, Reeses pieces are one of my favorite things
Oh my gosh, I totally want some. Yummo!
You are supplying me with more Farmer’s Market recipes than any other food blogger! Love it!!!
I am so glad to hear that you are making the recipes! How are they doing for you at the Farmers Market?
LOVE! I need some stretchy pants and cookies!
That guy H.B. Reese was a genius – best combo ever! Have a great day, Jocelyn.
Reeses pieces are high on my list of favorite candies. LOVE these! And I love your happiness list
Reeses are very high on my list too:-)
The delicious treats you come up with, always amaze me! I CANT wait to try these!!
I love your list, especially the “holding hands” one. That happens so little now.
Oh, and Reese’s. It’s a food group, right? LOVE these cookies!
It doesn’t happen often here, so when it does I am loving it!!! And yes, Reeses is a food group:-)
OMG. JOCELYN. I’m FREAKING OUT. These are the most amazing cookies I have EVER seen. Choc + PB + Banana is like, my ultimate dream come true. I am pinning these and seriously making them ASAP. LOVE YOU EVEN MORE THAN EVER!!!!!!!
Sally, I know how much you love Reeses (and now me)
You are going to DIE over these cookies!!! I can’t wait to hear what you think!
Holy fudge alert! These look insanely fudgy and yummy, and you know me and banana-ANYTHING… I love it all and want it all. Banana plus chocolate plus peanut butter?! I hope you saved me some!!
I wish I could tell you I save some, but…they were too good and we devoured them!!! Next time:-)
Oh.My.Goodness. Reese’s Pieces are like my fave candy EVER (with PB cups not far behind). And with banana in the mix? I bet these are seriously gooey and heavenly. I am so pinning (and making!) these!
Power to the Reeses!! My heart belongs to the cups and the pieces!!! These were so fudgey and delicious…I can’t wait to see what you thought of them:-)
I was concerned about the bananas (cuz I don’t do fruit chunks– nuh-uh), but once I saw that they are smashed, I’m totally on board! These look stellar!!
Jocelyn – love these! Chocolate (cake mix) < -- yes to simplicity + all those add in's with PB...and then banana. Perfect!

Thank you Averie! These really were the simplest cookies to make…and to eat:-)
Happiness is definitely in Reese’s and these cookies. I love everything else on your list too!
Hey I just met you…and this is crazy…chocolate and reeses….I love you maybe?
Funny how Reeses will do that to us:-) Happy to “meet” you too!!!
Can a cookie get any better than this! LOVE IT!
These just look amazing!
Thank you for visiting my blog and for your sweet comment! If you make the shades, I’d love to see a picture! I was in the same predicament–not about to pay for custom shades. Using mini-blinds was such a cost effective option!
Yummy! Reese’s are my absolute favorite!
Delicious!
They’re health food! I mean bananas = potassium = good for you. There you go. YUM
Bananas & Peanut butter, yum! Like Elvis, these are my two favorite foods. Just wanted to stop by and say hello. I may not comment but I enjoy your posts. Stay Cool!
These look amazingly delicious! I am sooo gonna try this recipe. Thanks for stopping by my blog & have a great day
These look absolutely delish, my husband already told me to put it on the list of things to make. Thank you for sharing with us on Saturday Show and Tell. I hope you’ll join us again this week!

These cookies look so good! Banana + Chocolate – what a combination!
I tried these and they did not turn out well at all. They have a weird doughy texture :/
Oh Melissa I am so sorry to hear this. I have made them a few times and each time has been fine. Did you try baking them a little bit longer? I know ovens are all different:-(
Hi there! I just made these and they are super yummy. However, mine were consistently gooey also, no matter how long I baked them. After cooling on the racks they solidified a little more, but still slightly mushy. I didn’t want to bake them anymore in case it burned them. I’m not sure what I could have done differently. Do you mind sharing what kind of cake mix you used? Maybe that has something to do with it? Either way, it won’t stop me from eating them! Thanks for sharing
I also have my own site… http://www.theoptimisticbaker.com Feel free to check it out some time! I’m always pinning recipes from this site 
Hi, Becky. I just used a generic cake mix…that shouldn’t have made any difference. I just made these again using a caramel cake with caramel pieces and they worked fine too. Maybe just bake them a minute or two longer…all ovens bake slightly different.

would love to try these but to you make the cake mix how its supposed to be made then add everything or just add the cake mix and not the eggs or whatever to make a cake… sorry just want to make sure i do it right
Hi, Casey. You will be only using the dry cake mix. Do not make the cake mix like the box says or it won’t hold up! If you have any other questions, definitely ask:-)
