You guys, these bars are insane. Like out of this world, worth gaining 10lbs over, good.
They are made up of three layers of heaven.
The crust is a chewy, chocolatey, peanut buttery, brownie like base for all this magic.
Then comes the filling.
Cream cheese and hot fudge. Oh my.
The topping is crumbles of the crust along with two of the best things ever: chocolate chips and peanut butter cups.
You can die happy now. Fat and happy. You’re welcome.
