TAHOE'S LAYERED PEANUT BUTTER BARS



Tahoe's Layered Peanut Butter Bars image

Lake Tahoe, a ski resort and gambling destination straddling the border between California and Nevada, was not my first choice of places to live when I left Ireland, but a bakery in one of the casinos there offered me a job, and I grabbed it. At the bakery, I was required to start work at the shocking hour of three a.m. When it's that early, it's hard to know what an appropriate breakfast is, so I'd often eat one of the bakery's peanut butter bars, which featured a layer of chocolate and were salty and sweet and really very good. As time went by, the number of bars I ate each day started to climb, and I realized I had to limit my peanut butter bar intake or risk a slippery slide into gluttony. Consider yourself warned.
