I made this recipe on 9/26/08 after seeing your wonderful photos in the "Cooking Photo Forum".Instead of using raisins ( which I can't stand ), a milk chocolate/peanut butter blend chip was used.This recipe was so easy to make, even a beginner baker could do this with no trouble at all.The smell of this recipe as it was baking was so wonderful I couldn't wait to taste it. And after tasting, I wasn't disappointed at all. But I can't make these again,(Yeah, Right) the reason is I'll end up eating the whole batch.Thank you so much for posting and, "Keep Smiling :)"

<p>Thanks for taking the time to stop by My Page! I am married to a quiet, but fun loving guy who cleans up the kitchen!! I have grandchildren who I adore. I am retired from being a paralegal and a real estate agent. I have also been a substitute teacher for the elementary grades in the public school system. All of my recipes are the tried and true type. Many of them have come from my 48 years of cooking, my mother's recipe box or other relatives. I like Taste of Home magazine and I am a big fan of foodnetworkTV. I am a southern girl and enjoy comfort foods!!! I am a big cookbook collector and have been for years. I enjoy baking desserts most of all. I also enjoy games on my laptop, growing flowers, lunches with friends, babysitting grandchildren, photography and traveling. Since life is so short I try to count my blessings each day and give to the less fortunate. I had gotten into a rut on what to cook. Therefore, I am so happy I found the Recipezaar site. Pet Peeve: People with a negative attitude. MY RATING SYSTEM: 5 stars - Excellent in taste. May have minor change. 4 stars - Adjustment in ingredients for flavor. 3 stars - Fair, but not sure whether I would repeat. 2 and 1 stars - I do NOT give.
