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 were ok. The top layer didn't really mesh well with the bottom layer and were a little bit too sweet.

Excellent recipe for packed lunches. Isn't messy and delicious.

While these were very good and I will make them again, the marshmallows did not spread easily so mine aren't as pretty as the picture either. I might try marshmallow creme next time. Has anyone tried this with good results???

Made this recipe when it first appeared about 13 years ago and it has become a family favourite.

These are delicious and addicting - it's hard to eat just one! They're very rich, so cut them on the smaller side. And the chocolate topping can start to melt easily, so I store them in the refrigerator.

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.
