Double Peanut Butter Cake Bars
I am a peanut butter addict. I go through a least a jar a week, I put it on everything from bananas to waffles! I also LOVE baking things that include peanut butter, and these Peanut Butter Cake Bars are a family favorite. The bottom is like a crisp peanut butter cookies, and the center is like a nice fluffy peanut butter cake! Take about a two for one! Add some peanut butter frosting on top, and these will be gone in minutes!
