Chocolate Peanut Buddy Bars
Grace at A Southern Grace posted about Chocolate Peanut Buddy Bars. Chocolate wrapped in a peanut butter square? What could be more delicious? So asks the Nestle web site where the recipe is posted. So claims Grace...she convinced me to make them. Well, I can't think of anything more delicious at the moment because I am too busy thinking about the flavor of these bars!
The Kitchen Gnome only had to see the bags of chocolate morsels and the jar of peanut butter sitting on the counter to ask "Are they ready yet?" Needless to say, these were first eaten warm....yummy! They are moist and chocolatey and did I mention peanut butter? Mmmmm!

I shared these wonderful bars with the neighbors. I got a phone call before I was back in the house! The bars are delicious.....this could be dangerous....I must share a few more or I will eat them all!
Chocolate and peanut butter, two of my favorite foods together in a gooey bar cookie. Yum.
ReplyDeleteOh, that does sound like a dangerous combination! Chocolate and peanut butter are two of my best buddies :)

Oh my...do these look good! Do you ever link your recipes to Foodie Friday at the blog, Designs by Gollum? Looks like you have some fabulous recipes! :-) Susan
ReplyDelete@Susan, I haven't but have thought about doing so. Thank you for the suggestion.
ReplyDeleteI saw these on Grace's site too. They look so delicious - nothing beats peanut butter and chocolate.
ReplyDeleteOnce, during my only bout of post partum, I ate 45 Reese's p-nut butter cups. Doctor said I had an air bubble the size of a grapefruit and I had to take antacids before each meal for months. I still love them though, as I do all things peanut and chocolate!
ReplyDeleteThere is no better flavor combo than chocolate and PB! These are awesome!
ReplyDeleteLove the sound of this!
ReplyDeleteLooks delicious!
