Chocolate-Peanut Butter Peppermint Candy Bars
Chocolate-Peanut Butter Peppermint Candy Bars
I wonder if you remember the old commercials, where someone holding a jar of peanut butter ran into someone holding a Hershey's chocolate candy bar. Wa La a new creation, Reese's peanut butter cups. And the revolution began, chocolate and peanut butter together in a lot of different ways. I know I am probably dating myself and many of you may not remember that old commercial. That's ok, let's get to the recipe here. This is probably one of the simpliest recipes I will ever post but don't let that fool you, they are delicious.
