    Love these! This has to be the quickest dessert ever. They took less than ten minutes to make and are delicious. I used milk chocolate chips and added a dash of salt to the mixture. Don't leave out the peanuts because they make the dish.

    My family has enjoyed these bars for years although I've never made them with real peanuts in them. They are so easy to make and I have yet to meet anyone who doesn't like them!
