I read tons of reviews and decided to test this out before I made it for a LARGE cookie exchange next week. The only small changes I made were 1. I melted the butter with the peanut butter in the bowl, 2. I put the butter/sugar/peanut mixture in the fridge for 30 min to set it up before I did the chocolate part. and finally 3. I added a smidge more peanut butter to the chocolate in the last part to increase the peanuty flavor. This recipe ROCKS! It set up beautifully...even though I doubled it! Easy. Quick. Perfect! Cookie Exchange, here I come!

These were so easy to make and SO yummy! I followed the recipe exactly. However, I layered wax paper in my cookie sheet (first, sprinkle a little water or spray the pan with Pam so the wax paper doesn't move around when spreading the mixture) before spreading the yummy mixture to cool. After they cooled, I lifted out the wax paper filled with yumminess and it was super easy to cut and transfer to a pretty serving platter! Thanks for a wonderful recipe!

I loved these and they work great for peanut butter cups as well. If I make them in bar fashion I only use about 1 1/2 sticks of butter. I always line the pan so I can lift them out for cutting. I cool the peanut butter mixture about 20 min. then frost them with the chocolate and wait about another 20 min. and cut them so the choc. doesn't crack.

Very Easy to make. Only changes I made was cut back to 1 1/2 cups of icing sugar and more chocolate chips. But will for sure make again!!

These were really tasty but the chocolate layer wouldn't stay put for some reason. Will definitely try again though!

These were good. Taste is similar to the peanut butter cups you find at the store. I personally did not have any trouble with mine as other' have. They do need time to set and I did only use 1 1/2 sticks of butter. My kids liked it but unlike other sweets I make, these lasted a while(in the fridge) because they are sooo rich. They were good, just not as good as I hoped.

Just made these tonight!!! If you love Reeses...youll love these...I used light peanut butter (like that really made it healthier! LOL!) and ran out of semi sweet chips so used 2oz of bakers semi sweet chocolate with 1c. of chips. The whole family loved it and I will be bringing them home for Christmas!! Chocolate and Peanut butter hard to go wrong with that!!
