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.
