Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Bars
Why I Love This Recipe
This is one of the Pillsbury best recipes that made it into one of their books and quickly became a favorite at the Choi Kwang Do studio where I teach and train. It's like an oaty blondie with plenty of ooey gooey. It goes together in a flash and is especially nice cut in small fingers and arranged with shortbread cookies and dipped strawberries.
