RETRO SCHOOL CAFETERIA PEANUT BUTTER BARS



Retro School Cafeteria Peanut Butter Bars image

It's taken me a while to find this recipe. There are many versions of "the peanut butter bar" but, I believe this recipe comes the closest to what I remember eating in the 1960's (via our elementary school lunchroom). Boy those ladies could really cook back then!

Time 1h5m

Yield 20

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 ⅛ cups white sugar
1 ⅛ cups brown sugar

OLD SCHOOL-DEJA VU CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER SQUARES



Old School-Deja Vu Chocolate Peanut Butter Squares image

Here is one for the chocolate/peanut butter lover, old or young. I say old first; this was served as the dessert on our lunch tray, 1st grade through 12th grade, usually on "Pizza Friday." And one would not think twice by propositioning a trade of their rectangle slice of frozen pizza for your peanut butter square. (This is where that term you learned in social studies class, "bartering", came into good use!) Can be served for up to 12-24 servings; 24 small servings or 12 nice big servings, like the ones served in the cafeteria at Whitehall School District, Pennsylvania. To this day, they are still served! (Prep/cook time does not include chill time).

THE REAL CAFETERIA PEANUT BUTTER BARS



The Real Cafeteria Peanut Butter Bars image

These are exactly like the ones I grew up with in the 80's! You can half the recipe and use a 9x13; I like to make a bunch and either freeze them or gobble them. (I have five kids...they usually get gobbled! ;) Sometimes I leave off the chocolate chip layer, put the PB frosting directly on top of the bars, and smother with Texas sheet cake icing instead. YUM!

SCHOOL CAFETERIA PEANUT BUTTER COOKIES



School Cafeteria Peanut Butter Cookies image

This is supposedly the recipe for the awesome peanut butter cookies that the East Penn School District cafeterias made from scratch each day when I was in school. With the revamping of the lunch program to promote healthy foods, they discontinued making these cookies sometime in the early 90s. I thought these were the best cookies ever. This makes a lot of cookies. You may need to use your hands near the end of mixing as the dough gets stiff. You can cut this recipe in half, but use 3 eggs.

NO BAKE CAFETERIA PEANUT BUTTER BARS



No Bake Cafeteria Peanut Butter Bars image

I loved these as a kid, brings back such great memories. A great recipe that requires no baking and ends up tasting like what a Reese's cup aspires to be - When I saw it posted on Face Book new I had to save it. Cook time is cooling time. I've had to guess at serving size as it depends on how you cut it, but they are rich.
