These are called Milk Chocolate Peanut Butter Chip Bars and the recipe is actually very, very simple.

Today’s recipe came from Louise, who emailed me a photo and note saying how great it was. This happened about a month ago, and I’m kicking myself for not making these sooner. They’re dense, moist, packed with peanut butter flavor, and not overly rich or sweet even though they’re topped with a chocolate …
