Lunch Lady Peanut Butter Bars image

These bars go back many years - They were such a favorite of my kids at the school they attended so they asked the "lunch lady" for the recipe! They became known as the Lunch Lady Peanut Butter Bars. 30 years later, they're still a favorite!

I was disappointed with these peanut butter bars. The filling was too sweet and the crust was too bland. I will not be making these again.
