I made this recipe, I used an additional 6oz. of chocolate chips, Florida crystals for the sugar instead of Turbinado, and Willow Soybean Margarine and lined the pan with crushed peanuts. I don’t think any of those items really matter, the recipe is great. These peanut butter bars are super delicious!
