Yummy! The best way I can describe this is it's like a chewy peanut butter cookie with a yummy sweet chocolate/peanut butter topping. It was delicious as written, but if you really love peanut butter, you might want to add a little more to the topping part.

This turned out much better than expected. I wanted it to be in a round dish for a pie look and didn't realize it would rise. It took up the entire 9" dish to the top after 20 minutes; I took it out, scooped out the center down about 1 inch, leaving 1/2 inch edges for a crust. Then baked it for another 10 min since it was still doughy because it is thicker. I wish I would have taken a picture; it was pretty after adding the chocolate layer. Everyone loved it; the taste and texture of the peanut butter cookie crust was perfect. I used Dove dark chocolate and natural peanut butter with 2 tsps of butter to make cutting easier.

These bars were ok. They didn't have the peanut butter "punch" I was looking for. In my opinion, they weren't worth the calories, and I love peanut butter and chocolate together.

This is a tasty recipe! I liked the heartiness of the bar. The oatmeal and the peanut butter made a great combination. I also found them to be too thick. I had to cook them about 40 min. Next time I will bake it in a jelly roll so that it will not be too thick. Delicious!

You know, this wasn't great. It was very dry. I think you need to add another egg or not put in as much oatmeal. It's too much oatmeal. I could hardly taste the peanut butter. I'm bummed because it sounded awesome, just didn't taste that way.

These are very sweet but so tasty. The middle sinks in, so I found the chocolate layer a little thick in the middle. Other reviewers have said that they had to bake a lot longer, but I used a 9x13 pan and they were done in 20 minutes. This one is definitely a keeper. Thanks for the recipe.

Tasty squares, but definitely should be in a larger pan. I had to increase the baking time to about 30 minutes with the 9x13 pan. Will make again, but either half the recipe or use a larger pan. Thanks!

I cut the recipe in half and baked in a 9" x 13" pan. The squares turned out perfectly! They were just the right thickness. While I did freeze them to get them to set quickly (I was in a rush), they were best eaten at room temperature. A number of people commented that they were so tasty because they weren't too sweet. I suspect it's because this recipe calls for oats (rather than graham crackers) and I used unsweetened peanut butter (100% peanuts).

The recipe was okay. They were good but certainly not the best dessert I have made. They seemed kind of dense almost too hearty for a dessert.

I loved this recipe!! I made it for my hubby and did everything according to the recipe for the cookie part. The chocolate topping, I subbed some peanut butter chips for the chocolate chips as I had them to get rid of. I did have to bake for about 35 minutes. I think this would be great cut into 1x1 pieces like fudge for Christmas cookies as well.

I made these and they were awesome!! I loved that it has healthy ingredients inside (I used whole wheat pastry flour)! The amount of chocolate on top was a bit surprising.... I may make a little less next time but that's the only thing I'd do different! Thanks for the recipe, I will definitely make it again!

Pretty darn yummy!! I agree that they are a little thick, so next time I will make these in a 11x17 pan. I too had to cook them about 15 minutes longer than suggested. I suggest using more peanut butter with the chocolate because I couldn't really taste it. Also I didn't have enough chocolate chips, so I broke up some Hershey's milk chocolate bars and it worked! I will certainly make these again!

Delicious! The only recommendation I have is make sure it sets for a while before serving. I made mine fresh after work when having company over and it didn't taste as good fresh out of the oven. After it sat overnight though, it was delish! I ended up eating almost a 1/4 of it by myself!! I'm a big fan of PB and chocolate, so it was great!

Being a lover of PB & Chocolate, maybe I just had higher expectations. I followed KMCL1994's modifications (and used RF PB). I let them 'set' in the fridge, and when I cut them, they were really on the dry side... Bringin' them back to room temp, they were a lot better, but still not what I thought they were gonna be. I'll keep looking.

Mixed opinions on this one. Some of the family said it was good others said no. I guess it just depends on your taste. I made it just as it is, but probably won't make it again. Thanks for the post anyway.

timing seems to be off on this recipe. I checked at 18 minutes and it was no where near done. had to bake another 15 minutes to get center done. It sinks when cooled and I couldn't think of any reason to wait util cooled to pour melted chocolate/pb mix over, so I didn't wait. Family says its a 4-1/2 but I thought crust was too sweet, but loved the topping of mixing PB & (I used bittersweet)chocolate. Probably will make again. But, will just plan on baking longer and try using less sugars.
