"Very good. Simple to make. I was out of clean saucepans so I melted the topping ingredients in the mircowave. That worked great. Like one of the other reviewers, I didn't bother spreading the marshmallow. I used Rice Chex instead of Rice Krispies. Forgot to add the cereal before spreading the topping so I just crumbled it and spread it on top. Not pretty, but still tastes good! :)"

"I use a recipe very similar to this, but it goes in a 9x13 pan. I don't spread the marshmallows, just let cool. My topping also calls for a cup of butterscotch chips melted in with the peanut butter and chocolate chips. My kids love these."

"Love it - easy, and uses ingredients I have on hand - the yumminess is an added bonus. Used that "greased" Release foil in the jelly roll pan so it was easy to remove and cut up - a big hit with everyone. Will make this once again and again."
