The BEST Reese's Peanut Butter & Chocolate Candy Bars

First of all, can you all see my survey in the top right corner? Will you take a second and vote? I'm teaching families who are currently receiving welfare assistance on how to meal plan and budget. I'd love to have some feedback from you on how much you spend on groceries. It would be SUPER helpful. Look, I'll give you free recipes if you do. :) Just kidding.

So, these bars are some of my favorite. They're more like the candy than a traditional cake-like peanut butter bar. Plus there's no baking involved. I have to warn you though, they're pretty dangerous because it's so hard to restrain yourself from eating the whole pan. So, if you make them try to do it when you need to take a treat to a few people, then you won't have as many left in your house tempting you.

For me, I happened to stand-up two of my good friends the other night. I feel AWFUL about it. So, I called these my repenting bars. I hope they'll forgive me by my bribery of peanut butter and chocolate!

You're going to make these over and over again. They are SO delicious. Enjoy!
