These turned out amazing. I would've liked for there to be more of the chocolate topping. Everything else was perfect. I also topped the bars off with chopped peanut butter cups and mini chocolate chips!

I made them, not as pretty as your peanut butter bars, but very easy and very very good. Thank you.
