i loved the way these looked so i thought how bad can they be. well they are not the chocolate peanut butter decadent taste i thought they should be. they were not very sweet and a little on the bitter side. i would not recommend them.

I have been wanting to make these for a while. I finally did and wow, it was really a waste of ingredients. Very bland. I had a little chocolate batter left over, no big deal, so I made a little cake out of it. Absolutely NO flavor whatsoever. The peanut butter filling was too dense. Very greasy too. The chips have a toasted taste to them, yuck. I highly don't recommend.

I was really looking forward to making these but am very disappointed. They are bland and not at all that rich, yummy chocolate peanut butter taste I was looking for. I will say they are moist but I am supposed to be bringing them to a BBQ this weekend and am going to get something else to make, happy I made them a little early so I still have time to make something else.
