Peanut Butter Bars With Milk Chocolate Ganache
Peanut butter lovers, I warn you! These are dangerous, fattening and absolutely scrumptious! Cut small pieces and you’ll be just fine. Just be sure to give the rest away quickly as they will wear down any will power you have! The best part is……Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups sprinkled throughout the batter and baked inside. Of course, the milk chocolate ganache topping isn’t half bad either! hee hee I have even doubled this recipe and it came out just as great. Bake it in a 9×13 if you choose to double it.

All you need to select is the print friendly option and then click the box that says remove images. Or just click the print icon to the right of the recipe itself. But feel free not to use this site again.
