I have seen the Promised Land!

I've said it before, and I'm going to say it again right now. I love sweets. I'm only somewhat picky when it comes to what kind of sweets I like, but anything containing chocolate and peanut butter are going to rank above pretty much anything else. Therefore, when Mom decided to make these bars on the evening of the 4th of July after a full day of park food, concerts, and parade-ing, I was game for it. When I tasted these bars, I was pretty sure I had died and gone to Heaven. They were fuh-reaking AMAZING. Every element of these bars is good, and when you put all of those elements together, they work together in perfect harmony (kind of like Ebony and Ivory; heh!) to make something super delicious and fantastic. Before I do a nice little "picture and description" type thing of the baking process, here is the link to the recipe. You are going to want this because after seeing the pictures, you are going to have to make these bars. Not want to, have to!

Now for the fun "picture and description!"
The crust is a simple brown sugar oatmeal crust. This stuff in and of itself is delicious, and I kept sneaking little bites from the mixing bowl when Mom wasn't looking. But my real favorite stuff was the peanut butter concoction.

Anything with sweetened condensed milk is bound to be good, because I am convinced that sweetened condensed milk is indeed the nectar of the Gods. But mix it with peanut butter, which is one of my favorite foods, and it turns into liquid Jesus himself.

Then you layer this delicious liquid Jesus on top of your amazing crust, and top it with CHOCOLATE! You didn't think it could get any better, did you??? Well it did, because then you chop up a flipping REESE'S PEANUT BUTTER CUP and add that on top of the amazing also! These things are just too good to be true.

Top these suckers off with some reserved brown sugar crust topping, and you literally have bars that will make you think you have died and gone to Heaven.

These things are the bomb, and I will definitely be making them again in the future
I will be doing several posts this week, as I have been baking a lot recently, and getting some items crossed off my summer bucket list, so be looking for those posts. Stay classy!
