This recipe is perfect! I have made there many times over 40 years, but could not remember how much peanut butter to put in.Every recipe I found said to add marshmallows, corn syrup, and or sugar.They are very sweet without that and if I wanted that gooey consistency, I would make Rice Krispie Treats,

Missing a step at the end. You need to lightly press down with spatula or spoon, into pan, cover and refrigerate I have never had these fall apart. Will also add another step after they cool. Melt 3 to 4 tablespoons of butter and 1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips in a bowl in microwave. stir every 30 seconds. Mix and pour onto cookies, cool and cut for the ultimate treat!

<p>I couldn't cook when I married my husband, but I am trying to learn now for his sake. He thinks I'm doing a great job--he's so sweet. :) RecipeZaar has been a huge help! I haven't posted many recipes since most of the ones I've made I found here. I have just graduated with a B.S. in mechanical engineering, and now I hope to have a lot more time to experiment in the kitchen.</p>
