Yummy! My two favourite flavours - chocolate & peanut butter - in one delicious square! These are very rich & filling. Because the bag of mini pb cups I bought only had 27 cups in it, I increased the chocolate chips to 1 cup. When you cut this pan into 24 bars, they are quite large. The next time I make them, I will buy 2 bags of mini pb cups & cut into more squares.

Absolutely delicious!! I substituted 1/2 c of reeses peanut butter chips for the 12 peanut butter cups, since a few went awol from the pkg :)and I wanted to have the right ammount for the top. I baked mine for 20 mins and they taste just as good as they look!! Thanks Lvs2Cook for sharing a great recipe that I will make again and again.

My family really enjoyed these bars. I added peanut butter chips to the mix.

We thought these were pretty good! I think I'd add more chocolate and peanut butter next time. The texture was great, but the peanut butter taste didn't come through as much as we would've liked. Thanks for sharing!

I LOVE these! I got the recipe from the betty crocker website and then thought I would check here for reviews before I made them. They are really easy and sooooo good! A new favourite of mine. I agree with the large glass of milk idea, but didnt find them too rich at all!
