{Peanut Butter, Chocolate Revel Bars}

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!
