easy to make, very good treat for a party, it is expensive to buy all the ingredients but worth it. I used sugar cookie dough instead to make it less peanut buttery and it worked fine.

This were very easy to make. So it wasnt so much peanut taste I just added walnuts to the top layer and marshmellows. They turned out awesome and rich. Will make again!

Very rich. Top layer of chocolate is too thick. I only taste peanut butter and chocolate so if I make them again, I would skip the toffee and butterscotch chips. Can't taste 'em.

I made this for Christmas, and they were a BIG hit! :) SO easy to make. I knixed the butterscotch chips and traded the peanuts for pecans. I will say though, they are definitely for the peanutbutter lover.
