These moist treats will have everyone reaching for more. Folks tell me they enjoy the cookies. In fact, the batches I make ahead for my family and store in the freezer seem to mysteriously disappear each year—even though the chocolate topping I put on before serving hasn't been added yet! —Judy Wilder, Mankato, Minnesota

I was a little skitish, but my 11 yr old picked this out for the 4-H cookie contest. She won! They were incredible! Like little morsels of Heaven! We made no changes and they were easy enough for her to make on her own. Kid-friendly to make, but very elegant, it is a winner!

Very chocolately! Tastes like a bite of gourmet choc chip cookie. It really doesn't need more chocolate on top, but I'm trying to figure out how to "dress it up." I cooked mine in chocolate red foil papers in mini muffin pans. Following suggestions here I sprayed the inside well and they lift out easily. I haven't served them at our brunch--We'll see how that goes.

Everyone loved them! One batch made enough cookies to share, in tins, with 3 others and still have some for home. Passed the recipe on. So Easy and good!

I made these for our New Year's Eve party. I substituted butterscotch chips for chocolate, added 1/2 t. vanilla and 1/4 t. salt. I had lots of compliments and my husband loved them, too. I would never have guessed they were made from graham crackers! I would sure make them again.

Hubby especially loved these!! This is a huge recipe, though. Next time I will try halfing it unless we have someplace to share them.

Yummy! Made these for Christmas and everybody wanted to take some home. Very easy to make. I definitely will make these again. I used foil cups to start and then switched to paper baking cups (holiday print) that was much easier to separate.
