Absolutely wonderful. I make treat filled tins for guests and party hosts around Christmas, and these are a great addition. My husband grew up eating them, and though these are different from the recipe his grandmother made, he still loves them. Thank you for posting, happy holidays!

This is the same recipe I have used for years and it is always one of first items to disappear on my holiday trays. I also add a little parafin to the chocolate chips. Great recipe.

Tasty! Two of my friends and I made these and decided to turn it into a party. We had LOTS of left over chocolate, but strawberries and some wine took care of that!!! I put these in the fridge to cool because they seemed to take a while to harden on the counter...

These were so easy and wonderful- I had to stop myself from eating the peanut butter mixture. The only thing I did differently was use corn flake crumbs instead of grahm cracker crumbs. Some of the grocery stores here don't carry them and I didn't feel like making my own. I figured they were for crunch, so the corn flake crumbs worked perfectly, personally I think they probably provide more crunch then the graham cracker crumbs, but I never had it the other way. Anyway, thank you these are going in my Christmas gift boxes.
