Peanut Butter Chocolate Cream Cheese Swirl Bars

"This is a definite must-try if you are a peanut butter and chocolate lover. Although I have not tried it, I am guessing that these bars can be baked in a 13 x 9-inch baking pan also. This is a great dessert! Plan ahead, this needs to stay in the refrigerator for 6 or more hours, overnight is even better."

  1. If you like bar cookies, these are wonderful. I used chocolate cookie crumbs for the crust, and they were gone in one day.
