It was cold and windy so I wanted to make something in the oven. I found this and decided to give it a try. I followed the recipe other then I was a bit short on the brown sugar but didn't think that made a difference. I also used hershey chocolate chips as that is all I had. Two liked this and two thought it was OK- thus the four stars. I did use chunky peanut butter as that is what I had on hand. Mine took 22 minutes to cook.

really really good. I halved the recipe and used an--i think 9 x 9 pan. I took it out after 23 minutes, afraid I'd left it in too long but it had a good crispiness, and could possibly have used an extra minute or two from the gooeyness on the bottom, but I loved it. Had a hard time keeping away from it. I didn't measure out my brown sugar precisely--used one full 1/4 cup measured well, then another 1/4 cup measured like flour instead of packed--to hopefully make a 1/4 and a half. That turned out to be a good method with this recipe, but I wouldn't mind having used some extra brown sugar--since that was my favorite taste in the product.

Quick and easy to make. I didn't have chocolate chunks so I used chocolate chips and substituted Splenda Brown Sugar/Splenda Blend for brown sugar/sugar. I must have cooked them a minute or two to much, they were a little dry. I will cut the baking time next batch. DH and son loved them, they gobbled up half the pan! It was like eating a square chocolate chip cookie. Thanks for sharing.
