Holy Nutty Bars Batman!

These homemade Nutty bars are three of my favourite things piled into one, they might not be good for me but that’s not going to stop me from making these home-made nutty bars. For those of us who didn’t grow up with store-bought Nutty Bars, these will be a taste sensation that will knock your socks off. These nutty bars consist of piles of creamy peanut butter sandwiched between crispy Matzo crackers and coated in semi or bittersweet chocolate, heaven on a Matzo cracker if you ask me.

Thank you Nealey Dozier from The Kitchn for this delightful recipe!
