Peanut Butter Bars

2015-05-22 (3)Clearly not an ancient recipe, the handwriting is written in a Baby Boomer scrawl that starts in formal cursive and quickly converts to simple print. The paper I have is a photocopy so I imagine it circulating through offices in the 80s and early 90s.

A typical bar dessert which can be cut into either bars or thinner “fingers” by which this recipe is also known. The husband declared it “pretty good”, but the seven year old said it was “yummy” and then promptly requested another. The four year old took a few bites and then wandered off to wash his hands. The top is definitely not dry like a brownie and fingers will get deliciously sticky from the chocolate and peanut butter drizzle topping.
