Peanut Butter Fingers

I don't recall where this recipe came from. Probably from one of my mom's vintage cookbooks--she has some great ones. Basically these are peanut butter bar cookies topped with a layer of chocolate and drizzled with peanut butter glaze. It doesn't get much better than that, folks.

These peanut butter fingers start out looking pretty ordinary.

But while they are still hot from the oven, some chocolate chips make things more interesting.

If you wait about five minutes, something magical happens.

The chocolate chips become smear-able!

I didn't do it this time, but you can drizzle these with a delicious peanut butter glaze. Yum either way!

I hope you enjoy these peanut butter fingers as much as I do!
