PEANUT BUTTER CRUNCH BARS
No Bake Recipe!
To this day, peanut butter is my favorite food group. Nobody ever told me I was supposed to outgrow peanut butter. It’s just as well; I wouldn’t have listened. As a kid, I’d wake up early Saturday morning to snuggle down with a jar of peanut butter, Cheerios, and a spoon, and laugh my head off at Bugs Bunny. That was everyday peanut butter. For special occasions, like Christmas, we all got fancied up–me, my family, the peanut butter. Instead of peanut butter on cereal, ice cream, pancakes, apples, or banana sandwiches, we dressed it up in cookies, potato candy, and my favorite: Peanut Butter Crunch Bars.
