Now if you like chocolate and peanut butter you will LOVE these!! They are so easy to make and look spectacular on a sweets plate. With the topping I left out 1/4 cup peanuts and sprinkled them over the top. This recipe is loaded with calories...so share it!! It makes for a lovely treat when you have guests over for coffee & cake.

This dessert is so easy to put together and the end result is extremely delicious! I got to say though, I found that the peanut butter flavour was all I could taste. I think the topping would have been fine without the additional pb in it because I had a piece of the bar without the chocolate topping included and the choc/pb combo was perfect! and I did not double the crust. I will definitely be making these bars again in the near future because they were so easy, rich, delicious, man I can't find words to describe them otherwise. Thanks so much for sharing your recipe.
