PETERS writes, “This recipe was made after years of searching, trying, and failing. During my elementary school years the café served a delicious peanut butter bar, with a layer of chocolate on top. I remember my friends and I trading around for the biggest piece. After beginning my own blog in 2013, I decided it was time to figure it out. I stayed in the kitchen for hours and finally mixed up and made the closest batch that I could. After serving them to my family, I branched out and made them for church; everyone loved them! They became a quick recipe request and now I make them for every holiday I can!”
