DELICIOUS PEANUT BUTTER FINGERS – Easy Homemade Bars
These Peanut Butter Fingers are a wonderful dessert that you can throw together quickly. Is there a better combo out there than chocolate and peanut butter?
These are my husband’s favorite bars that I make and he insists that we ALWAYS have some in the freezer.
When you need a little something sweet, these peanut butter finger bars are just perfect!
I like to sprinkle a few mini chocolate chips on top to add a little more texture and let’s be honest, to make them look prettier.
Unfortunately, these bars are not healthy, but that doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t make them!
Whether you need to bring dessert to a potluck or just want to stock your freezer for the weekend, these are so easy to throw together.
Here are Living Practically, the motto is enjoy the treats OCCASIONALLY. Life is all about balance.

No need to go and buy any special ingredients, you should have everything you need already in your cabinet. I hate having to buy special ingredients when I am making something. As long as you keep a well stocked pantry, you should be good to go and make them right now!
CAN I FREEZE PEANUT BUTTER FINGERS?
yes, yes, YES!
Actually, my husband and I prefer them frozen. We like to set them out for a couple of minutes to soften just a tad and then enjoy.
You can easily make a batch of these and store them in the freezer for up to 6 months, but trust me, you will eat them WAY before that!
