I'd have to say that I've been asked to share this chocolaty layered her recipe more than any other in my collection. It's a longtime favorite of our three daughters. How many times we've all made these, I can't count. — Esther Shank, Harrisonville, Virginia

These bars were yummy and strangely, not too sweet. Cut in small slices they reminded me of a krispy candy bar instead of a cake bar. The PButter is barely noticeable, if you are looking for a strong Pbutter taste, you should use a little extra. Next time I will use More marshmallows as was suggested by one other person. The marshmallow is what keeps the bar from just being another ordinary chocolate bar, so load it up!

I was out of marshmallows (thanks small children). So I tried meringue. Epic fail. Not recommended. Still tastes yummy, but not pretty at all.

Loved everything about this recipe although there are two things I would do differently. The first is that I left it in a little longer and the bottom layer came out hard like a cookie. The second thing is that my chocolate did not set and was still a little messy. But, overall, love, love, loved it!!

These bars are great but we aren't big fans of peanut butter so I substituted Nutella ...they were delicious and I plan to make them again and again!
