Can't wait to try these--maybe for dinner tonight !! Since I can't have chocolate, I will use peanut butter chips !

This one is a keeper, it a like a peanut butter chocolate chip cookie meets a brownie. I baked it for 10 minutes less than called for in recipe and turned out great.

Had no peanut butter flavor at all, took forever to bake so that the inside wasn't all goo and raw dough, tasted terrible.

Very good! My family loved them. I would say it is a pretty simple recipe, and variations of it can probably be found a lot of other places. Used whole wheat flour and semisweet chocolate chips. Tastes like a peanut butter cookie but much easier to make. They didn't look much like the picture, mine were more cake-like which is fine, but I might have enjoyed them a little better had they been more fudgy. Brought them to a potluck and they were nearly all gone! Also, I took note of the reviews and would recommend baking them for 30-35 minutes as opposed to the 45-50 minutes.

These are so easy!! I have made them 2x now and perfect each time. I baked mid lower level of oven for 50-55 minutes in a greased 9 x 13" baking dish. OMGoodness - nice thick chewy bar. Perfect! Perfect! Perfect! AND absolutely delicious!! Def keeper recipe!

Very good! I'm glad I read the reviews about the timing though, because mine were well done at 30 minutes.

I added more peanut butter, and also added some peanut butter chips, as well as the chocolate chips. I thought they were dry, but they were a big hit at the meeting I took them to. I would make these again!
