I made these to take to work today, and everyone loved them. One person even said I should open up my own candy bar company! LOL! I almost forgot the peanuts, even though I'd crushed them ahead of time. Managed to get them on top before the chocolate got too hard. I'll definitely make these again when my DS is home. He'll love them. Thanks for sharing! Made for Photo Tag

For a chocoholic who loves peanut butter, these bars are just the thing! Absolutely great combo, & apparently many others think so, as well, because when I took 2/3 of the batch to a park-sponsored coffee/tea hour, they were gone in no time! You have a very nice keeper of a recipe here! [Made & reviewed in Went to the Market recipe tag]
