This recipe needs more peanut butter. I'd amp it up to 1 cup, and 1 cup of butter. Its a great recipe as far as quick and easy, but very mild and almost too much of a floury taste. I'm going to tweak this and try it again.

keverwann, I haven't tried this with bars, but with cookies, if you put in a piece of bread, the cookies don't get hard.

My family has enjoyed this recipe since it first came out, years ago. Sometimes I melt butterscotch chips w/semi sweet and spread on top and chill a bit~ OR~ cut in triangles and dip half in the same mixture or just chocolate alone. Though mainly we just enjoy this chewy treat as is.

I made this recipe for the first time yesterday and it was great! No more rolling up cookies in a ball & flattening them out. On a side note, I did add a 12 oz. bag of peanut butter chips to the batter last and it was a nice addition.
