Steps

1Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line an 8×8 baking pan with parchment paper.
2Add the peanut butter, melted butter, and dark brown sugar to a large mixing bowl. Whisk together until well combined and smooth.
3Next, add the eggs and vanilla extract and whisk until well combined.
4Sift the gluten free flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt into the wet ingredients and then fold in until well combined.
5Next, add the oats, chocolate coated candies, and dark chocolate chips into the dough until well combined.
6Transfer the dough to the lined baking pan and use your fingertips or a rubber spatula to press it into an even layer. Top the dough with extra chocolate candies and chocolate chips.
