Peanut Butter Swirl Bars

By srumbel

There are few ingredients, in my opinion, that go together as well as Peanut Butter and Chocolate. And when you combine the two into a bar cookie – it’s a win-win for everyone. These Peanut Butter Swirl Bars are a huge hit at our house. So much so, that my youngest could eat the whole pan if I let him. A perfect treat for the kids. Recipe from HoosierHomemade.com

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup Peanut Butter (crunchy or plain)
