Made a double batch of these for a special event in our park, & of several recipes I made for it, I think these were received the most enthusiastically! Very, very nice, especially for those of us who like peanut butter! Thanks for posting the recipe! [Made & reviewed for one of my adoptees in this Spring's round of Pick A Chef]
