Peanut Butter Chews image

This is a recipe that came from the Cafeteria Ladies at Benito Juarez Elementary School in San Diego, Ca. They would make these and sell them outside in the patio area after we had lunch. I have such fond memories of these chews and everytime I make them I am reminded of my days at Juarez.
