No Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Candy Bars

In this household, anything containing peanut butter is popular. Since my niece is staying with us, peanut butter is even a bigger hit. Even though my husband tried, I think my niece ate the majority of this dessert. Now, I can't be certain since I did see him eating some for breakfast. If I had told on him, then my niece would have joined him and then I would have been in trouble with my sister. I think its funny how as adults we can break certain rules but only as long as we aren't caught by the children. These would be great for breakfast too but don't tell the children I said so. (I did learn my niece did sneak one for breakfast too.)
