We thought this was really yummy. The peanut butter mixture taste like fudge. Very simple to make. Thanks for posting.

    We liked the flavor of these bars a lot. As another reviewer said, the peanuts didn't stick as well as they should. The next time I make this, I plan to heat the milk, chips, and butter together until the chips melt. I found that adding the the milk to the already melted chips cooled the mixture down too much and made it difficult to spread over the peanuts because it was so stiff.

    This was a great recipe. I love payday candy bars and this is really close. The only problem I had was keeping the peanuts from falling off. I'm going to try and press them down more next time. Thanks for this recipe.
