Who doesn’t love chocolate and peanut butter? I think it is my favorite combination of all time and I am always looking for new recipes that contain the two.
This recipe for Peanut Butter & Chocolate Bars popped up on my Pinterest feed and I was thrilled to see how easy they were to make! These bars have the perfect peanut butter to chocolate ratio and can be cut into bite sized pieces and serve an army.
They would also be perfect to gift out on the holidays to friends, family and coworkers or serve for dessert at a holiday or New Years party.
If you are a peanut butter and chocolate lover I definitely recommend trying this recipe out!
