Growing up I really wasn't a fan of the food served in our school cafeteria, which I'm sure many of you can also relate to. However, from time to time they would whip up a couple batches of these delicious peanut butter bars, and when that happened, those were GREAT days!
Soft, gooey, melt in your mouth peanut butter bars that I guarantee you can't just have one of!
