Peanut Butter Brownie Bars

Oh, I so wanted to be the organized blogger and whip something new and fresh up before I left for New York.  Instead I find myself sitting in my hotel room, digging on my blog for a great oldie but goodie recipe before I run out for the day.  I am already running late to get out of here. ~sigh~ Who knew there was so much involved in a vacation conference?

This is one of my FAVORTIE treats! They are so good and the peanut butter and chocolate offer a delicious flavor reminiscent of a Reese’s peanut butter cup! If you are looking for a treat this weekend, this is it!
