I brought these Chocolate Peanut Butter Bars to a friend’s house for dinner one night and was shocked at how delicious they were, considering how quick and easy of a recipe it was! I’m obsessed with this delicious dessert recipe. Chocolate and peanut butter are just the most perfect pairing. Add in the oatmeal and it’s perfection.
