Peanut Butter Bars

In an effort to get back into trying new things and blogging I was perusing foodgawker or tastespotting and I saw a recipe for peanut butter bars and it reminded me of home. You cannot go to a function on Vinalhaven without peanut butter bars being there and this recipe held up those yummy ones of the ladies of Vinalhaven. It was surprisingly easy to make and I only dirtied two dishes.

In same pot, melt butter again on low heat. Add chocolate chips and stir until chips are almost melted. Remove from heat and continue stirring until chocolate is smooth and shiny.
