Every once in a while, you've got to treat yourself for being
good, you know? You work hard, you put up with other peoples
wants, needs and desires. Well, now it's time to take a break
and give yourself a little chocolate TLC. These Chocolate Goody
Bars are definitely an indulgence. A sweet indulgence of
chocolate, vanilla, and peanut butter. You will adore the crispy
chocolate, floating over a cloud of vanilla frosting, sitting on
top of deep rich fudge cake. Mmm . . .
