Retro Bing Bars image

This is a homemade version of the Twin Bing® candy bars from the 60s. They are rich and sweet and a small piece is a nice treat. These really are like candy, so cut in small pieces. A 1-inch square is sufficient! Store in a cool place in an airtight container, separating layers with waxed paper.

I'm not usually a fan of peanut butter and chocolate together, but these Bing Bars are an exception. They're the perfect balance of sweet and salty.

These are a great way to satisfy my sweet tooth without feeling too guilty. They're not too heavy or rich, and they have just the right amount of sweetness.

I love Bing Bars! They're so nostalgic and remind me of my childhood. I always make them for my kids' birthday parties.

These were okay, but I've had better. I think I'll stick to my regular dessert recipes.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my Bing Bars didn't turn out right. The chocolate layer was too thick and the peanut butter layer was too thin. I think I'll try again with a different recipe.

These were a disaster! The bars were too crumbly and the frosting was too runny. I ended up throwing them away.

Not bad! I thought these were pretty good, but I think I would have liked them better if I had used a different kind of frosting. The buttercream frosting was a little too sweet for me.

These are a great way to use up leftover cake mix. I had some chocolate cake mix that I didn't know what to do with, and these were the perfect solution. They turned out great!

I was a little skeptical about how these would turn out, but I was pleasantly surprised! They were really good! The chocolate and peanut butter combination is always a winner.

These Bing Bars brought back so many childhood memories! They were just as delicious as I remembered, and they were so easy to make. I'll definitely be making these again soon.
