Salted Peanut Bars

When I was growing up, I remember my mom being in love with the Nut Roll. You know the ones…where there are a million sitting piled high in a barrel selling ten for $1 at a gas station?

Well, I am in love with them, too, and these Salted Peanut Bars come real close. These babies hit the spot around 3 pm with a nice hot cup of coffee. Trust me…you’ll be whipping some of these up a lot because they’ll be your new fave!
