My husband loves peanut butter and I have to say it has grown on me over the years too. If you want a go to recipe for no-cook easy bar cookies then this is the recipe for you. I found this one several years back in a magazine probably Southern Living but not sure of the source, anyway it’s one of the easiest sweet recipes I have. Your peanut butter loving family and friends will be praising your name for sure.
