Tips:

To evenly distribute the peanut butter mixture, firmly press it into the crust.
For a richer chocolate flavor, use semisweet or dark chocolate chips in the glaze.
Do not overbake the bars, as they will become dry. Insert a toothpick into the center of the bars; if it comes out clean, they are done baking.
Let the bars cool completely before glazing them. This will help the glaze set properly.
For a smoother glaze, melt the chocolate and butter in a double boiler or in the microwave in short intervals, stirring in between.
To create a decorative drizzle, transfer the glaze to a piping bag fitted with a small round tip.
Store the glazed peanut butter bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
