These Beer Bacon Potato Chip Bars Are the Perfect Drunchies

This article is written by a student writer from the Spoon University at DePaul chapter.

These packed bars combine potato chips, pretzels, chocolate, peanut butter, bacon and beer for a mouthful of sweet and salty goodness. Better yet, they call for less than half a can of beer, so buy a 6-pack to finish off while you wait for your cookie bars to cool. Best drunchies ever.
