Sheryl’s Peanut Butter Bars
I was going through an old cookbook that has been well used. You know the kind that the pages are crumpled and there are pages with some dried food on them.I love these cookbooks that come from church bazaars. They have the best homemade recipes that are soooooo goood!!I came across a favorite recipe Peanut Butter Bars. This brought back so many memories. I made these so many times when my kids were growing up. I made them when I cooked in school kitchens. Everyone loved them. They are so addicting and you cannot just eat one! You could eat the whole pan if you want to 🙂INGREDIENTS YOU WILL NEED….ButterBrown SugarWhite SugarCreamy Peanut ButterEggsVanilla ExtractAll-Purpose FlourOld Fashioned OatsBaking PowderSaltThese Peanut Butter Bars are the perfect treat for any picnic or family gathering.
