This recipe is from Aunt Marilyn and is her world famous Peanut Butter Bars. When Dad and I went to the Payson Temple open house, we stopped in at John and Marilyn's. She was just pulling the fifth batch of these out of the oven. She makes them for Jill and Justin's shop the Sip'n Spot. What a woman!1 1/2 cups butter or margarine
1 1/2 cups peanut butter
1 1/2 cups brown sugar
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 t. vanilla
4 eggs
3 cups flour
