I'm not a big fan of peanut butter, but these bars were still really good. The chocolate chips help to balance out the peanut butter flavor.

The bars were easy to make and turned out great! I used dark chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet and they were perfect. I'll definitely be making these again.

These bars were a little too sweet for my taste, but my kids loved them. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.
