  1. These turned out really well. The one caution I would mention is the step wherein you microwave the peanut butter. Readers should be aware that many manufacturers today are sealing the jars with inner lids that are lined with a thin layer of metal. If you don't get every last bit of the metal liner off of the jar rim, you could be in for some fireworks inside your microwave - potentially, you could even start a fire and obliterate the oven. Transferring the peanut butter to a microwave-safe bowl is probably a lot safer. A bit more trouble, but a lot safer in the end.
     
  2. Fantastic!
     
  3. This is a five-star recipe. I make this recipe during the holidays and every brownie gets eaten. Sinfully delicious and well worth my time to make these brownies!
     
  4. My whole family loved this recipe! Tastes like Reese's peanut Butter Cups.
     
  5. I made these to bring to work for our monthly luncheon tommorrow. I thought they were pretty good, but you do need a tall glass of milk with these. A little on the sweet side.
