These were very good!! They are easy to make and go together very quickly. I have been searching for many years for a chocolate peanut butter bar recipe similar to the one I used to get in my high school cafeteria. Unfortunately, this isn't it, but these were delicious anyway. They are very rich and my family loved them. Thank you for sharing this recipe...it is definitely a keeper!!
