I inherited my mom’s favorite cookbook and her recipe box. I have had her Banana Bread and Turkey Stuffing recipe for years. I now have her other family must-have recipe- Mimi’s Potato Salad, which I will share next summer when I’m finally brave enough to make it.

One of the recipes I was surprised to find was the Peanut Butter Jumble Bars. I knew it would be one of the first recipes I made because I have so many fond memories of baking and eating these delicious treats.

I made this recipe for my Wednesday night class at church. I know none of our church kids have a peanut allergy, so it was safe to bring. The girls loved the Peanut Butter Jumble Bars. One of the moms said I was spoiling her kids. They only want fresh baked goodies at home now!
