I gave it only 3 stars as is but with alterations it was really good! The amount of sugar compared to all the other ingredients is astronomical! When I first mixed it all in it tasted like pure sugar with little to no peanut butter taste so I doubled the peanut butter and added in another 2 or 3 tablespoons of butter and another 1/2 cup of graham cracker crumbs. I also added about a tablespoon of peanut butter to the melted chocolate chips to give it a nice consistency. They ended up turning out great (tasting like Reeses Peanut Butter Cups) but I really can't imagine anybody liking them with the original ratios.

I grew up in VT and we made our own REAL maple syrup. I came up empty one day but I had the extract so I decided to make this. It was so disappointing, it tasted like the watery store-bought stuff in the plastic bottle. Not even close to a true maple flavor.

This is the best cottage pie I've made to date and I totally credit the sauce/gravy. I've always used a gravy packet or stuff from the jar before this. I made a few alterations: I only used a small sprinkle of cinnamon and it was plenty (cinnamon has such a strong flavor!) I also used a package of frozen carrots and peas instead of the fresh carrot because peas are essential to my cottage pies! I used ketchup in place of the tomato paste and also added a few good dashes of worcestershire sauce. As for the potatoes I just made them according to my preferences instead of using the recipe. I think I had to cook the beef mixture longer than 15 minutes to reduce it down but it turned out perfectly! The savory flavor was so delicious and waaaaaay better than any premade sauce/gravy. I'll be making this again and again.
