If you were lucky like I was, we had some amazing lunch ladies that made some of the best lunches. Alas, kids these days won't know how good food could be. Anyway, one of these items was a peanut butter bar dessert, and oh my goodness... it was such a prized item. If you were lucky, sometimes they'd let you come grab another one if lunch was just about over and they had extra (also rare). Keep in mind that this is for a jelly roll sized portion. If you would like to make a 9x 13 size portion, just cut the recipe in half. Here's what you'll need to make about 24 large or 48 small bars:
