This is very GOOD! I followed directions precisely but added no alcohol, as my family doesn't drink and so I had none around when I wanted to make these. These are EXTREMELY sweet,but the PB does come thru. I like the cinnamon glaze on the outside. I don't think it would be the same without it.

This is a quick and good snack. Two of my DS favorite ingredients peanutbutter and white chocolate. I especially loved the icing. Made for Summer Comfort Cafe.

This isn't really my type of snack it was a bit sweet but kids would love it. I used Frangelica in the glaze (skip it for the kids) as I don't like orange and choc together and used crescent rolls instead of phyllo, as almost 100 degree heat would have made the phyllo difficult to work with. Made for the Comfort Cafe July 09

Reviewed for RSC # 9. This combination of chocolate and peanut butter together is new to us and I must say that it wasn’t very much our cup of tea. DH and I ate them but seriously wondered about this strange (to us) combination of flavours. We tired to be open to something new and to like them, sadly for us it was a leap too far. I made them into crescents as the recipe suggested and the filling that was on the sides tended to spill out a bit…( well a lot, all over the oven trays) The ICING however was wonderful and I WILL be making that again no problem !!! The cinnamon and the Grand Marnier worked like magic in the icing and THAT for me made the difference between a 2 star and 3 star rating, Actually I’d give 4 or 5 stars of it was just a recipe for the icing alone. This is a recipe that I tried very hard to like but it got the better of me. It was worth the new experience of trying. I would have given only two stars for the pastry bits but have increased it to 3 becuase of the brilliance of the icing. Thanks!

These were pretty good. My filling took some time to come together, just seemed a little hard to mix. And shredding the chocolate was time consuming by hand. I don't know if an attachment to a food processor would make it easier. I think I would have preferred them to be a little smaller, as the filling was very rich, but very good tasting. All in all an easy good recipe. Good luck in the contest.
