Chocolate Peanut Butter Bars
Chocolate peanut butter bars are thick, rich, and decadent. Made from simple ingredients, these are a delicious treat anytime of the year.
Chocolate peanut butter bars combine an alluring flavor combination that we all love: chocolate and peanut butter. In this easy dessert, velvety smooth chocolate sits on top of a thick layer of peanut buttery goodness. The peanut butter layer tastes remarkably similar to the center of a Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup. I would say that this is our own home made Reese’s Chocolate..:)
