This recipe has been on my “to make” list for ages and I finally decided to make them this evening. I don’t know why I waited so long; they are delicious!

Delicious! The recipe was quick and easy to follow. I too used half milk chocolate chips and half dark chocolate chips. Next time I might make a bit more chocolate to have a thicker topping. The peanut butter mixture was a bit crumbly when I put it in the pan, but it packed down nicely. The chocolate topping was quite thick, but I didn’t have any difficulties spreading it. Oh, and they are delightfully easy to cut and get out of the pan! I can’t wait to share these with friends; they will for sure be a hit! Thanks for sharing!

These are delicious and very quick to make! I like some crunch in my food, so I used half chunky and half smooth peanut butter and they turned out great!

My teenage son made these in a snap. He was so surprised how easy they were to make. They seemed just like the candy he craves, without the high fructose corn syrup he can’t have.

Wow these were easy to make and so tasty! Very addictive so I had to share so I wouldn’t eat the whole pan

So good! Really rich. A huge hit among my guests and it only took me about 15 minutes to make!

These were so good and quick to make. I also had trouble pressing the peanut mixture into the pan but used the leftover butter wrapper to help press it in. I ate half of the pan in less than 24 hours!

I suggest using a mixer rather than stirring by hand (as I did); it’s hard to truly incorporate all these ingredients and with hand mixing I found small pockets of just peanut butter or graham cracker crumbs, or little balls of powdered sugar in the finished product. Still delicious

I reduced the powdered sugar to 2-1/2 cups and next time will probably only use 2. I like the salty-sweet component; the peanut butter part shouldn’t be too sweet!

The chocolate mixture was very hard to spread and I wound up using extra chips but they’re delicious. Thanks for the recipe!

These are darn good! The peanut butter mixture is a little hard to work with (I had some trouble pressing it into the pan), but with a little patience the job got done.
My bars were a little mushy and hard to handle after cooling on the counter, so I put them in the freezer as suggested, and I found they are perfect when eaten straight out of the freezer–a lot more solid and easy to handle.
