    Gooey Peanut Butter Bars

    I have a weakness.  Yes, I have admitted before it is cookies. I have another weakness.  That would be snack mix, trail mix and especially a bar that combines all three.  These Gooey Peanut Butter Bars does just that.

    I made these knowing the children would enjoy them.  However, I was the one who couldn't stay out the the crazy things!  They are crunchy, peanuty, and chocolatey all in one.  They are also frugal, which is great thing when you are feeding a hungry mom children.

    I suppose you could add more chocolate than I did, but I fear that would make them too sweet.  The bars themselves are sweet so a thick layer of chocolate on top would be the overkill icing on the Peanut Butter Bars.  (Maybe that wouldn't be a bad thing.) ;-)

    By the way do you follow me on Pinterest?  You can do so here and see my Cookies and Brownie Board.
