Would I say these are appropriately named? Maybe not. Chocolate peanut butter fingers are a better description but either way, these turned out to be a tasty treat. The recipe states “This is a rather rich cake-like bar that is nice to serve at a coffee” and I agree. Double the recipe for a larger crowd, serve with coffee or keep it all to yourself and enjoy it as a sweet treat.
