Delicious! Quick to put togther. Made these as a lunchbox treat and the kids really enjoyed them. Love the taste combination of chopped peanuts and peanut butter, and it also provides a little more protein which is great for my picky child. The sweetened condensed milk gives the bars a slight peanut butter caramel flavor which is yummy. I put some bars in the freezer to save some for another day, and they freeze well, too. Thanks for sharing the recipe!
