These are my favorite dessert bars. They're fudgy, chocolatey, and salty. I always make them for potlucks and parties.

These bars are the perfect combination of salty and sweet. I love the way the peanuts add a little crunch to the texture.

I made these bars for a party last weekend and they were a huge success! Everyone loved them! Just make sure you have a good chocolate ganache recipe on hand, because it's what really makes these bars special.

The combination of chocolate and peanuts is always a winner, and these bars are no exception. The cookie crust is soft and buttery, the chocolate ganache is rich and smooth, and the peanuts add a nice crunch.
