Question: Has anyone tried mixing the peanut butter into the dough instead of drizzling on top? If not, do you think it would work?

These are so easy to make, and so delicious! I melted chocolate chips and peanut butter together and drizzled that on top to add a bit of chocolaty sweetness. :)

You are correct yacht92350, you would drizzle the melted peanut butter after baking and after the bars have cooled completely. Thank you!
