I LOVED this dessert! With that said 
I have to tell you a something about myself. I'm not a fan of chocolate or peanut butter. I won't eat peanut butter on it's own and well, unlike many I don't go gaga over chocolate. Yeah, I'll eat a brownie if it's been kicked up a notch but that's about it for me. If and when a recipe calls for chocolate I use dark and when I can, I'll leave it out all together. Here's where I'm really strange. I like peanut butter and chocolate together. A lot which is why (along with yummy pictures) I decided to give this a try.
I initially was going to make this to bring to the Twins' baseball practice, but I ran out of time and made them Cheater 
Snicker Brownies instead. Am glad I ran out of time! I would have gotten one little piece had I brought them to baseball. Greedy but true! This was soooo good! And I LOVED the peanut butter mousse! It was "lick the bowl" good! I wanted to but I restrained myself and used the spatula to get every last little bit of it.
Okay, back to this delish bars. Another thing I loved about the bars was how lovely they looked after cutting them. You can clearly see the contrasting layers. The ganache topping didn't harden up so much that it cracked when cut making for a smoother cut.
This bar recipe comes to you courtesy of Dianne's Dishes who as you may remember is my blogging Mama! Please check her out she has a lot of great recipes, including gluten free ones, and healthier ones for those of you making a lifestyle change. You want bread ? She's got bread! Take a look!
On another note: Baseball did not go as well as we would have liked this weekend. We won both our games yesterday but lost today's which was the one that mattered. The Twins' personally did NOT have their best stuff though Jalen did a good job pitching. In 1 & 2/3 innings he struck out 4, walked 2, hit a batter, gave up only 1 hit & did not give up a run. We ended up 2 & 1.

WOW!! Bet they did taste lick the bowl good. My children would love them. I have to try this out. All their favorite flavors!!
You know, I come here to leave a comment and what greets me? JUST ONE OF MY FAVORITE FLAVOR COMBOS IN THE WORLD!! I'm dying looking at those gorgeous bars!!
That said, congrats on your twins making the 'big' tournament! So, which one do you think will end up pitching for the Yanks? ;D Also, hope your son's broken hand hand is all better! What a fracas at the holidays!
Finally, my BF is going to 'guest blog' and post his opinion(s) about the 2009 Yanks and their offseason moves. Should be up in a day or three. Stop by and check it out, as he's really good at analyzing that stuff and putting it into perspective :)
Even though they do look nice after cutting them, I think the topping is just the cutest thing ever.
Love pb and chocolate!

Peanut butter and chocolate is a hard-to-resist combination! This looks rich and delicious, I'm also a fan of dark chocolate :).
I've read two blogs today with my favorite foods....and they are the "P" words: portabellas, parmasan, and peanut butter. mmmm
I can't wait to try. If you and Dianne did it, it must be good. I trust the family. Nella
Must try these immediately! :)
Ooh, its so pretty! the layers look so perfect! but not perfect enough that i'd feel bad tearing into it with a fork :)
These look amazing!!!! I have to try them.
Wow! That looks incredible. It would be great with a glass of milk! I think I am going to go ask my mom to make this for me. :)
Oh wow - those look so rich and delicious! Yum!
Gosh, all of these bars sound incredible! I guess this is the place to come for unique desserts. ...so tasty, and I love the sound of those snicker brownies!
This is making me drool right now!!! I love this flavor combo!!!
I was just browsing through your blog--which I love, by the way--and found these gems! Um, YUM! I cannot wait to try these bars. They sound out-of-this-world good! Can't wait to keep up with your blog!
Good god, these look amazing. What a dessert! (I'm crying, because I'm allergic to peanut butter)
Yikes.
I just found this picture when I was sidetracked en route to your snickerdoodles bars and now I'm torn. I'm having a hard time finding the recipe though.
If you could see the baking desperation taking hold here......
Oh that's so pretty! Especially when you look at it's cross-section view. You can see every ingredient used to make it. And are those peanut butter cups on top? This is just heavenly! :D
