Old School Peanut Butter Bars on "Throwback Thursday"
A school friend of mine gave me this recipe back in 2015. It's the recipe that our school's lunch ladies used to make peanut butter bars, and when I made them, they tasted just like I remembered them. This recipe has been shared over 152K times since 2015, making it one of the most popular on my page. Since then, I've made these a lot of times, and our grandkids love them.
