These are so easy to make and look great on a cookie plate. They are incredibly rich so I cut them in smaller squares. I also use milk chocolate chips instead of semi sweet. Great compliments from everyone.

WOW, THESE WERE EASY, QUICK, AND TASTE AMAZING! -took no time or effort to make. -only change I made was let the cookie dough rest for 10 minutes before adding the peanut butter so it doesn't tear. -even better left over the next day! -we made one side with no chocolate and those were like peanut butter heaven! -these are perfect for giving away at Christmas. Would make a delicious treat for any occasion. -We cut ours a little smaller and had 32 small bars These were really out of this world. Chewy, oozy, gooey goodness! Would recommend and will be making again and again! (would be amaz

Everyone loves these bars. I didn't have cookie dough so I used chocolate graham crackers. I never did try the cookie dough since these were so good. You need 1-3/4 cup of chocolate graham cracker crumbs mixed with 1/2 cup butter (melted). Press into pan, no need to prebake crust. yummy!!!!!!!!!!!

I didn't have the cookie dough so I used 1 1/2 cups chocolate graham cracker crumbs mixed with 1/2 cup butter(melted) for the base. No need to prebake the crust. Continue as directed. For the frosting I melted 1 10oz bag of dark chocolate chips with 1/3 cup peanut butter. I took these to a function and everyone loved them. Also,several people asked for the recipe.

I made these last night no changes to the recipe. They were really good but not chewy at all. Actually they were a bit hard maybe my oven is different and they over cooked a bit. However they were still yummy enough to eat. I would try again and alter the cooking time to see if that helps make them chewy.

Not big on crunchy peanut butter so I used creamy instead. used 1/2 bag mini chips and 1/2 bag milk chocolate chips for a wonderful result; highly recommend

The bars aren't as chewy as I hoped they would be, but the flavor is very good. They couldn't be easier to make and the chocolate-peanut butter combo is always a hit! I made them once and already have a request for the recipe :)

Do you HAVE to keep them refrigerated? Made them, smell awesome and was the easiest dessert. Hubby can't wait to dig in.

Love these bars. Sent a box to my daughter in college and her text said "These are amazing!". Easy to make.
