Ever have one of those days where you just need chocolate? Okay, one of those days where you need chocolate on top of peanut butter while you’re in pajamas cursing PMS and hives because the two together are just so, so wrong?
Well, if you’ve ever had one of those days, or if you just anticipate one of those days in the near future, I am here today to help out by bringing you Peanut Butter Fingers.
Fingers is such a silly name, because I don’t cut mine in slim finger-like sizes. I shall now rename them Peanut Butter Bars. Squares. Large Rectangles.
I first tasted these in the parking lot of the Washington DC LDS Temple. And I ate four of them. Then I craved a large glass of milk. And two more peanut butter bars. Thank you Angie Rands for making these, sharing them with me and then moving to Chicago, leaving me devastated for life without them. I’ll forgive you, but only because you just moved back here and kindly gave me the recipe. I think we’ll be friends forever.
I’m not a huge Reese’s Peanut Butter cup fan. Too creamy. These bars are just the right consistency because they have oats, which give them a little “heft”. (is it okay to use that word with food?)
I made these twice for Big C’s cross country team and they were gone in an instant. You should make them for your kids (I really mean yourself). You can thank me later.

Those look so yummy I just wanted to lick the screen!!! Definitely going to have to make them!
We love peanut butter fingers, but have never found a recipe I love. I can't wait to try these.
can't wait to make these!! And I printed it out straight from your blog, so your face would be in the sidebar-- because THAT brightens my day :)
thx for sharing!
This might be a stupid question, but when you say a cube of butter do you mean a stick of butter? Want to make these for our piano recital this weekend!
Oh dear, now I'm going to have to make these. Why? Because every other baked sugary suggestion you've made on this blog has been an absolute winner in our house.
Why the "Oh dear!"? That's my waist-line talkin'.
Today I discovered there's a shop here in Barcelona called "Taste of America" that sells products from the US. Maybe this way it will be easier to do your recipes. These are happy news!!!c
I was just thinking about what to make our new neighbors when I sat down to read your blog. These pb large rectangles are perfect! Thanks for sharing!
