If you like chocolate, these cookies are absolutely heavenly. I am a white chocolate fan, so I used white chocolate bars instead of mounds candy bars. These are rich and incredibly delicious. They are worth every bit of effort it takes to make them.

My, oh, my! These are to die for! I used the dark chocolate reese's peanut butter cups that are out now in place of the mounds. Chocoholics beware!! LOL! Thanks for posting this gem!!

So good! I did not use the Oreos because I did not have any but they still came out great. I also made a variation of these with peanut butter cups instead of the mounds. Will definitley make again.

these are fantastic. i baked them for the 1st time this past weekend for a cookout with my in-laws. I used a regular cookie scoop instead of 1/4 cup & then dusted powder sugar on top. My family has already informed me that these are now mandatory at every function! Very rich!
