Looking for an OLD recipe!

Hi Everyone !  I attended elementary school at North Main Street School in Mt. Airy, NC.  Back then they cooked everything that was served at lunchtime.  One of the things I remember was a dessert bar.  I think it had peanut butter in it, but am not sure at this point.  It would have been between 1956-1960.  The bar was about ½ inch thick, very compact, dense and buttery!  If anyone else remembers these and has a recipe or knows/was a cook from there, please let me know.

 Thanks in advance! Have a good day.
