These bars are hands down delicious and prefect for your next pot luck, family get together or just to make for a sweet little weekend treat! They are fudgy, full of peanut butter goodness and basically hands down delicious!
I made these bars as my contribution to a bake sale last week, and they got some pretty rave reviews! These bars feature a few of my favorite things peanut butter, oatmeal and chocolate! Think of a thick delicious layer that taste like a peanut butter oatmeal cookie. That cookie is then topped with a rich peanut butter chocolate filling, and finally topped off with the remaining peanut butter oatmeal cookie goodness! If you are a peanut butter/chocolate lover these bars are for you!
