Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Bars

A delicious, bar filled with decadent chocolate and creamy peanut butter...

Here is a low sugar bar that you can enjoy and feel good about while watching a movie with your family, reading a intriguing book, or having guests over. 

Tip: Remember to always read through the whole recipe carefully before beginning and follow it precisely while making it, so you don't make the same mistake I did. I forgot to divide the chocolate chips and put too many in the squares and didn't have enough for the top! Chocolate overload 101. O.o

Ingredients

1/2 cup butter
1 cup peanut butter
3 eggs

Directions

1. Begin by creaming together the butter and peanut butter.

      I think I will! If I were to use white sugar instead of coconut, would I use the same amount?Thanks,

      Yes, you can use the same amount of white sugar, or even better, use 1 cup of brown sugar and 1/4 cup of white sugar. Either or will work. :) Let me know how they turn out!

      One other note: Make sure not to over back these--otherwise they'll be super dry. ;) When they're done they'll be bubbling quite a bit. When you see that, take them out of the oven right away. These bars are supposed to be slightly gooey.
      Hope you enjoy them!
