This was something out of the ordinary for me, & I was nicely pleased at how well they turned out & how tasty they are, but then we both like most anything that contains a combo of peanut butter & chocolate! As for the finished bars, I enjoyed them without the final topping while my other half wanted the whipped cream & crushed cookies! Thanks for sharing the recipe!

I have a degree in archaeology from a small Ohio college and I work for the Ohio History Connection. My passions are art, music, books, food, history, and cats/animal welfare. I also love photography. I have a 1,000 (plus) piece collection of vintage flower pins from the 1960's, hence the username ha. I also have small collections of vintage butterfly pins, vintage tablecloths, and vintage glass Christmas ornaments. (Can you tell I love vintage?) I took a trip to the Netherlands in March 2006 and fell in love! I doubt it will happen but if I ever have the opportunity I would love to live there.
