Chocolate Peanut Butter Bars

Submitted by AmyZoe

"A friend gave me this recipe, and she said it's an old family favorite. There's nothing better than peanut butter and chocolate in the same dish. This is a quick and easy recipe but very good. The recipe doesn't specify how much of the chocolate chips to sprinkle so I just covered it and then added the remaining bag at the end. I must confess, I wanted to eat the peanut butter dough by itself and forget baking it or adding the chocolate chips. I used real butter and milk chocolate chips, but you decide...YUM! Serviing size is estimated and unknown."
