Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cake Bars

First off I LOVE anything with Peanut Butter in it… So when I came across these I ripped it out of the magazine and tossed it in my recipe drawer!  It’s a real simple recipe to throw together and because its more like a “cake” bar its not super dense and stays light and fluffy!!  You can cut them up to your desired serving size… I like to make them in “bite size” servings…
