These bars are so amazingly yummy! I made several batches of them for a dessert auction awhile ago, and people just raved about them! "Much better than a Reese's peanut butter cup!", they said! :)

I LOVE these Peanut Butter Bars. I keep several bags of Betty Crocker cookie mix on hand so when someone ask for dessert for potluck or I need a treat for school, I can make them. I just made another batch last night for my daughter to take to school because one of her classmates requested them for their party.
