These peanut butter bars > others.
I make these peanut butter bars more than pretty much any other dessert? I also usually take this one to any bbq, party I go to because being gluten free and dairy free, most people can have this one. So, I have it already covered if someone has a food allergy. Which, nowadays a lot of people do, so I try to be sensitive to that fact when I’m bringing food for other people.
By the way I even made these peanut butter bars instead of a birthday cake for my husbands birthday party and everyone raved about them. Don’t forget to follow my Pinterest so you never miss a recipe.
