We devoured these bars; they are simple and easy to put together; I followed the recipe, as posted, except, I melted the chocolate in the microwave, and didn't add the margarine. The chips melted and adhered to the bars just fine. I'll be making these again and sharing with my friends! Thanks for sharing, Mamablowfish. Made for PAC Fall '09.

    The are so rich and delicious! Tastes like the real deal only homemade! These freeze well and can be pulled out and devoured in no time. I will definitely make these again and again. Would be great on Christmas trays cut into small bites. Keeper! Everyone loved them, kids - adults and the neighbors!!! Thanks for sharing a simple and delicious dessert!

    I followed the recipe exactly as written and couldn't be happier with the results. Is there any combination better than peanut butter and chocolate? So easy to make with ingredients I usually have on hand. I used a jelly roll pan that was 10 x 15 which seemed to be the perfect size. I bagged my bars up quick like to take to the parent volunteers in my classroom. I think they are going to love it. Hopefully they might even share a bite or two with their children. Edit: Well this was enjoyed by my entire class and the parents came back asking for the recipe after eating theirs. Word of warning- Make sure you have a copy of this recipe for each person who takes a bite of it- You will be asked

    These really are very good. And so simple to make. The family went nuts over these. I used a bag and a half of chocolate chips (we are chocoholics to the extreme) so the topping was extra thick. Microwaving the peanut butter does make it softer, but can take longer to set really good. What I did was to mix the graham cracker crumbs in with the butter and powdered sugar, then mix the peanut butter in (not microwaved) using my hands. Also I didn't use any margarine when I melted my chocolate chips in the microwave. The chips set up firmer without. Thanks for a fantastic recipe Mamablowfish.
