I love this recipe, though I agree with what others said about it not fitting in such a big pan. I used a 9"x9" pan and it was just right. I left out the chocolate chips and instead used some boxed chocolates we had gotten for Christmas that had partially melted and re-solidified, so they didn't look nice enough to serve to company anymore. I pressed the chocolates into the dough after it was in the pan so they'd be evenly spaced, and tried to mostly bury them in the peanut butter mixture. The result, I have to admit, was unusual, but our family and guests all enjoyed it. With each bite you never knew what kind of chocolate you were going to find! I named the dish "Buried Treasure", but my husband called it "Land Mine Surprise", and of course that was the name that stuck!

Delicious and so easy to make! I followed the recipe exactly and was very happy with the results! Although the ingredients that go into this dessert seem very rich, the cookie was very light - delightful!

I made them exactly as the recipe said. They came out dry, denser than expected, and very disappointing. Surprising, since the dough was quite tasty.

I didn't have an issue with the dough being stiff. It was easy to spread. I took the advice of another member and softened the peanut butter & butter in the microwave first. Very good. Thanks!

I love this. But I used crunchy peanut butter which was bad idea. It would of been much better with smooth peanut butter.

Just like my mom used to make when I was little but a lot easier. Sometimes I don't put the chocolate on top, but if I am giving them as a gift, I don't omit the extra calories.

Just what my peanut butter craving needed! Didn't have any butter so I tried using sweetened condensed milk... shockingly, it worked okay! I used natural crunchy peanut butter & it wasn't too sweet. Also, I wanted something a little lighter than the reviews suggested it would be so I added 1/4 tsp baking powder.
