  1. Loved this, kids loved this, neighbors loved this, co-workers loved this. I loved the little time I had to spend making this . Only thing I added was vanilla extract and a dollop of sour cream cause it was in need to get used. Thanks for posting!
     
  2. This is really a good recipe. Seems like the fewer the ingredients the better sometimes. I used butter instead of shortening and added 1 tsp. of vanilla. Put it into an 8 x 8 square pan and baked it for 20 minutes. Very moist and chewy. I will make this again.
     
  3. These are excellent. Easy to make--half an hour to my chocolate/peanut butter fix! No bake time was given--23 minutes worked for me. I did the 9x9 pan. Yummm...bless your Grandma Evelyn!
     
  4. Delicious! Didn't change a thing, except put in about 6 oz of chocolate chips because it's all I had left! It was like a dough when I was done mixing, so I just pressed it into my 11x7 pan evenly. Will make again soon!
     
  5. We thought these were delicious, but a little more chocolate than peanut butter. Next time I'll cut the amount of chocolate chips in half. Very hard to stir so hard for kids to make. But good! I'll make again!

Tweaks

  1. Very tasty! I used chunky natural peanut butter and butter instead of shortening. They came out a bit dry and crumbly (like soft shortbread) so next time I will try adding some yogurt.
