a match made in heaven

Is there much better than chocolate and peanut butter, together?

As long as I can remember my mom had a friend who make her a dish of these chocolate peanut butter bars every year on her birthday. My mom would hoard them, eat only half a bar at a time, and be very selective as to when and who could have some. They were very decadent (when you see the recipe you'll undertstand why you can't be making these babies any old day you please, without turning into a blimp).

Once in a while I make these to take somewhere to share. We never just make a batch to sit in the fridge for obvious reasons. They would never sit!

Anyway, next time you have a craving for that perfect match, try this recipe out. Enjoy!
