Peanut Brittle Bars image

I'm not exactly sure WHAT to call this, because it's not really peanut brittle, but there's no other good name for the bars. I got this from the Land o Lakes website, and it looked so great I -had- to post it. Hope you enjoy!

I found these bars to be a bit dry. I think I would add some extra butter next time.
