Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Bars
I needed a super quick holiday dessert for a last minute get together we planned with some friends, and I really did not have time to make anything too fancy. These chocolate chip peanut butter bars are a perfect dessert to make for any last minute party or for the person that really does not have time to bake from scratch but wants a delicious dessert.
I am not going to lie I felt a little guilty making these bars because I usually always make everything from scratch but sometimes when you need a quick dessert you just have to do what you gotta do, right?
