Personal Notes:
I got this recipe from a lady who came to a summer party at Grandpa and Grandma Chapple's one summer. I added where I melt peanut butter and put it over the bars and under the chocolate because I thought it would taste even better, and I was right. It's always a hit! I'd say it's probably the favorite thing that I bring to events. I was asked soo many times to bring it to family functions because everyone loves them.
