To complete the meal. Lorri whips up a pan of Chocolate Peanut Butter Bars. "These chewy cereal treats are the perfect no-fuss contribution to a potluck or bake sale," she adds. "I've discovered a few minutes in the refrigerator helps the bar's frosting set faster. Of course, the trick is getting them in there before they disappear!"

These are wonderful! I'm sure they are not very "good" when it comes to health with all of the sugar and corn syrup, but they taste great! I've made them several times over and they are a hit with everyone!

These are great for chocolate peanut butter lovers. One thing I have always added is butterscotch chips to the chocolate chips. 6 oz. each. The combination makes a big difference.
