The Real Cafeteria Peanut Butter Bars image

These are exactly like the ones I grew up with in the 80's! You can half the recipe and use a 9x13; I like to make a bunch and either freeze them or gobble them. (I have five kids...they usually get gobbled! ;) Sometimes I leave off the chocolate chip layer, put the PB frosting directly on top of the bars, and smother with Texas sheet cake icing instead. YUM!

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

These peanut butter bars are a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll use less sugar next time.

Not a fan of these bars. The peanut butter filling was too thick and the crust was too dry. I won't be making them again.

These bars were a bit too dry for my taste. I think I'll add some extra butter to the crust next time.
