Can't even remember when or where I got this recipe but I have enjoyed it since I was little. Not a difficult recipe for kids to make but requires some supervision with the stove top cooking.

Tips:
- To achieve the perfect balance of flavors, use high-quality chocolate and creamy peanut butter.
- For a richer peanut butter flavor, use a natural or homemade peanut butter.
- If you don't have a baking sheet, you can use a 9x13 inch pan, but the bars will be thicker.
- To make sure the bars are evenly cooked, rotate the baking sheet halfway through the baking time.
- Let the bars cool completely before cutting them, this will help them to hold their shape better.
- For a fun twist, try adding chopped nuts, dried fruit, or even bacon to the batter.
- Store the bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
