OH MY!! I love peanut butter an chocolate together, so this flavor combo was a dream for me. I also loved the soft cream cheese filling (I used the equivalent of 6 ounces of light cream cheese), it made them even richer than they already were! Both layers were easy to spread over the crumbs. I used the stated amount of crumbs and did not have any problems with it not covering the bottom. I made a quarter recipe in a loaf pan lined with parchment, so I could easily lift it out. I did not have any problems cutting them this way (I also let them come to room temperature as well). If you do, you can carefully peel it from the parchment paper. It is hard to eat just one of these treats. If you are like me, I couldn't stop saying WOW!

This is quite good! I just found that there were too many strong flavours fighting for attention. I don't know if the middle layer even needed the cream cheese - the flavour might have been less overwhelming without it. I had the same 2 issues as another reviewer - the crust was pretty much mush & I had to use my hands to get it spread across the entire pan. And, the cream cheese layer was so soft, it squished when trying to cut the squares. Even though I refrigerated overnight, the squares became very, very soft at room temperature after only a few minutes.

WOW! Most beautiful slice, combining both chocolate and peanutbutter. (Two things I love in food.) Thanks for the recipe, it won me second place in the royal adelaide show! My mum,(stardustannie) suggested i put some of the peanuts on top. I thought that that one made it look even more appetising, if possible. YUM!
