I buttered my pan lightly and dusted it lightly with flour, and then, as it cooled, slid around the outside edges with a paring knife, and had no trouble cutting and removing bars later.... It was FABULOUS... And I used bittersweet gourmet chocolate chips on top, tasted like a real Reese's when I got done... Lasted about half a day. For three people! -
I've been making this recipe for years but I melt the choclate and mix it together with the peanut butter, butter and suger and I use rice krispies instead of the cookie crumbs try it it's very crunchy. -
These are delicious, and sooo easy. I brought them to a barbecue and they were eaten right up. I will definitely be making these again! -
I made this for a group dinner that I made and it is out of this world. I greased the pan but it was still tough to cut. However, people were fighting for the crumbs. Better than the candy. Thanks for sharing.

Zaar...Wow, what a place! I'm one of the old timers of Zaar. I can't count the number of wonderful dishes I cooked in the past few years since joining. Along the way I have had the pleasure of meeting several Zaar chefs. Talk about your fruits and nuts! lol. I have enjoyed meeting them all.
Family: What's to say...I have had the same sweet husband forever (Good thing....I'd hate to have to break a new one in...=) and live close to a couple of grown children. (Maybe you've met Smoke Alarm Jr. ..her brown rolls are sooo good!) Therefore, my family gets together often to enjoy each other's company and cooking. My greatest joy is six "little to tallerthanme" kids running around calling me Grammy. They wear me out! lol
For the past thirty years I have been a Special Education teacher for grades 9-12 and love it. Took some time off last year to recovery from surgery, chemotherapy and radiation for breast cancer. (Loved the radiation....I keep imagining that we are absolutely napalming the nasty cancer cells tohellandback to keep the little suckers from returning. =) My prognosis is good and now "I'm back in the saddle again". lol. Being a north country "gurl", I am happiest outside...walking, fishing, sitting in front of an outdoor fire or being on water (although in February it's a bit stiff....=0) When indoors I like to read, garden, knit, quilt and paint. During cold Maine weather I like to warm my feet on a very large ( 100 pounds of long legs and huge feet), sweet and furry golden retriever named Kerry (aka KTBRD: Kerry the big red dawg..lol) . In the summer, the dawg and I round up the grandkids, hit the local dairy bar for a Mounds Sundae that is to die for!!!=0) . Then spend a lot of long and lazy summer days at camp . All in all...Boy, Life is good! =)
