1 package (16.5 ounces) NESTLÉ® TOLL HOUSE® Refrigerated Sugar
    Cookie Bar Dough, prepared according to package directions

    melted according to package directions
2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
2 tablespoons slivered almonds, toasted if desired
3 Fun Size NESTLÉ BUTTERFINGER or NESTLÉ CRUNCH Candy Bars, chopped

COMBINE melted morsels and peanut butter in small bowl; stir until smooth. Spread mixture evenly onto cookies in an approximate kidney bean shape (foot shape).
