Studhub's No Bake Peanut Butter Bars


This week I have decided to change it up a little on the blog.

Since it is the week before Valentine's Day, I am going to focus my kitchen energies on all things chocolate!  This came about when Studhubs (aka my husband John) asked me if he could play in the kitchen on Saturday.  I said "Only if you photograph it and do a guest post on my blog."  He agreed and the rest will be Kitchen Wife history!  *lol*

(John's kitchen pose of choice LOL)
Now a lot of wives would be scared if their husbands wanted to play in the kitchen, but if the truth were to be told mine is actually a decent cook.  He has made several things for me in the past, all of which have been delicious!  So from here on in I am stepping aside and giving all control to John and his No Bake Peanut Butter Bars!  You are going to love them!
Peanut Butter – Chocolate

Do I need to say anymore?

Both are something that I loved my entire life, and what could be better than the two combined?

There are many different recipes, and in the future I will do another version of this recipe, but this one is very quick and easy, great for when time and energy is not abundant.
