Chocolate Peanut Buddy Bars Recipe

Very Best Baking's Chocolate Peanut Buddy Bars recipe is one that I've been making for years and years.

It's so easy, and the end result is a peanut-buttery, chocolatey delight!

I added a little more chocolate chips than the original recipe required - because you can never have too many!

And I love that this is a one-bowl recipe!
