No Bake Peanut Butter Chocolate Bars

Even though it doesn't get very hot in the Seattle area in the summer, it still heats up my house when I turn on the oven. And without an air conditioner, I can't cool it off. I have really been trying not to use the oven on warm days. These are just the kind of summer dessert that I can make and they really couldn't be any easier.
