Peanut Butter Bars, Peanut Butter, Cookie Bars

These Lunch Lady Peanut Butter Bars disappear very quickly at my house. To say that my boys love them is a bit of an understatement! Before I even pull them out of the oven, my boys are begging for some.

I got this recipe from my husbands sweet sister Jill. This recipe reminds me so much of one of my favorite lunch treats when I was in elementary school. I always looked forward to the days that they served peanut butter bars. Back then, the lunch ladies made all the food from scratch.

If you are looking for a simple dessert that will not only feed a crowd but will please them as well, look no further! This is the perfect recipe for you!

With love from my kitchen to yours,
