No-Bake Peanut Butter Bars

Ummmmmmmm.... can I say that again UMMMMMMM.  If there is one thing in the Zimmer household that is gobbled up is anything made with peanut butter.  This recipe was posted on one of the blogs I follow and looked so easy and quick that I couldn't help but make it.  It was about time too since I have seen this recipe done so many times before but had yet to make it myself.  The only thing that I would change is make the bars in a smaller pan (9x9 perhaps) and not spray the pan with Pam.  The non-stick spray wasn't need since there is plenty of yum yum butter in the mix already.  If you do use Pam you will notice that the bars get a little greasy.  They still taste delicious but leave evidence on your fingers that otherwise wouldn't be visible.  Enjoy!!
