These are really good, especially the bottom layer - all wonderful ingredients together. I usually like things less sweet, but I agree with other reviewers - these actually weren't sweet enough for me. Someone suggested adding more sugar to the bottom layer, but I think adding sugar to the chocolate and peanut butter part would have more impact. We drizzled some caramel syrup on them to get them just right. I also took others' advice and added the third layer before it cooled. I used all the measurements in the recipe - did not double any of the layers as some people did. I agree that the bottom layer was quite thin to spread, but it did bake up fine.
