Pix below of the layered peanut butter bars my bride Tweet aka Joyce did recently.  I did not get any sequence pixs since I was not around when she baked them, however I did get a pix of the finished product.  Those layered peanut butter bars were fantastic!

A few sequence taken although I only got about 2/3 of the steps but will fill in the blanks on the next batch that my bride does:

My bride Joyce aka "Tweet" did a double batch of the layered peanut butter bars today 03-21-09 and they were delicious!  She is taking them to a singing at our Church and where there is a covered dish/refreshments after the singing in the fellowship building.
