Memories of lunchtime at school and my Aunt Shelly's kitchen come to mind when I bite into these sweet, chewy bars. My husband is the biggest fan of these peanut butter and chocolate treats. —Janis Luedtke, Westminster, Colorado

Ingredients

3/4 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
3/4 cup sugar
