Frosted Peanut Butter Bars

There were very few things my friends and I would eat from our high school cafeteria. This was one of the few. It was a small town, so someone could always get the recipe from someone. Hope you like them!

The bar part of the recipe is correct. However, for the right thickness of the bars use a sheet cake size pan or I use 2 - 9 x 13 pans for the right thickness. Also, here is the correct frosting recipe for the peanut butter bars: 1 1/2 cup powdered sugar, 3/4 cup peanut butter, 3/8 cup margarine/butter and then add 1-3 teaspoons of milk to thin slightly to spread the frosting.1Reply
