The flavor is really good on the icing. Reminds me of peanut butter fudge. I put it on peanut butter chocolate chip cookies and they taste great. I gave it 3 stars because the icing never hardened up. It was still sticky after an hour and a half. I followed the directions exactly, so I'm not sure why it didn't harden. Needless today, I couldn't "stack" them as I hoped :-( So I let them harden for another half hour and they are starting to get better. My icing was pretty thin to begin with, but I think you will need to let them sit for 3 hours to get the desired effect.
