Remember when you walked into the school cafeteria and you saw that Peanut Butter Bars were on the dessert menu? I do! Yum! There was something so great about the HUGE pan of Peanut Butter Bars that made the afternoon so much better in grade school. I recently found out that one of my classmates had the coveted Lunch Lady Peanut Butter Bars recipe – I had to recreate these treats! I was pleasantly surprised at how easy this recipe really was. Yum!

Wowza, those look really good. I loved having the no-bake bars like that when I was in school.
This looks really great. I wonder how'd they turn out with cookie butter and caramel? That might be a no-bake blondie. 🙂 I love it.
