Isn't anyone else angry about how hard these are to cut? Sure they taste good/okay but I darn near chopped my hand off trying to cut them into bars. I'm sure I won't make them again, but thanks.

These are very good & quite easy to make!! "3 layers" sounds a bit daunting but the recipe is quick to whip up. I used smooth peanut butter & the full 5 tbsp of milk in the drizzle. The first layer tastes a lot like an oatmeal cookie with most of the flavour being in the top 2 layers. -
I thought these bars turned out really good. They were so easy to put together too. Some of the other reviewers thought the crust was lacking a little in flavor but I thought it was just fine and that it complimented the topping well. I used chunky peanut butter in the crust just to give it a little more texture. I followed the recipe as written and it was perfect. Delicious bars! They'll definitely be a repeat in our house. Thanks so much for sharing! -
These were good, but just OK. The taste is 'alright', but they aren't outstanding. I don't think I'll make these again. Sorry, if it's any consolation, I like you as a person. :) UPDATE: I think the peanut butter drizzle made these bars a little better than just OK. I took them to a potluck and received many compliments. So, despite my original review/opinion, these bars redeemed themselves. Thanks for the recipe, Ocean~Ivy!
