These bars were a little too crumbly for my taste. I think I'll try chilling the dough before baking it next time.

I made these bars for my husband's birthday and he loved them! He said they were the best chocolate peanut butter bars he's ever had.

These bars were a bit too salty for my taste. I think I'll try using unsalted peanut butter next time.

I've tried many chocolate peanut butter bar recipes, but this one is by far the best. The bars are always moist and flavorful, and the peanut butter filling is perfectly creamy.

These bars were easy to make, but they were a little dry. I think I'll try adding some more butter next time.

I used dark chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet and they turned out great! The bars were still plenty sweet, but the dark chocolate added a nice richness.
