I made these and took them to a potluck, they all dissapeared and people commented that they were good! When I got home, the ones I had left, about half,were all gone too. So thumbs up! Thanks Whisper! -
My little brother's best friend's Mom gave our Mom this recipe years ago, and I was so glad to find it again! It's good, and easy. I'll be making it for my husband this weekend with Adam's No-Stir Peanut Butter (btw, I never experienced trouble with the PB/chocolate mixture being too soft). Thanks for posting this, Whisper!! -
Other than making only a half a batch and baking them in a 8x8 sqare pan, I followed the recipe exactly. A nice, quick, and easy recipe using ingredients that I already had that resulted in a tasty little treat. I put them in the fridge for the chocolate to set but would maybe recommend cutting them first if anyone else does so. Thanks for a great recipe!!

Tasty, but the chocolate/pb spread is too soft. You cannot pick them up without making a mess. they are very good, but I would reduce the peanut butter next time.

I live near Rochester NY with my husband and our 18-year-old cat, Fluffy. It's actually Fluffy's house, but he allows us to live here as long as we pamper him and feed him generously. Our daughter, Kree, whom some of you know from Zaar, is also living with us again while she begins a new business venture in real estate. She's the one who got me hooked on Zaar and taught me to try new recipes rather than stay in the cooking rut I was in.
In my free time I like to take long rides or sit by the water, both of which I find very relaxing. I also like to do counted cross-stitch and read. I dabble in photography, always looking for that elusive 'perfect' shot. I did more cooking before I started working full-time, and plan to again when I retire (still years away, but dreaming).
