Peanut Butter Bars….
About 10 years ago, I got this recipe from my cousin. The funny thing is she does not cook or bake but she thought this recipe looked good, so she ripped it out of a magazine and asked me to make it for her. I changed a few things around over the years to get it just right, but every time I make it someone asks for the recipe. This is also one of my husband’s favorites. He likes anything peanut butter and/or butterscotch. They are very easy to make, just make sure you leave enough time for the chocolate to get solid before you serve them, probably about 2 hours in the fridge or if you live in northern Indiana with 9 months of winter like I do, just put them outside.
