"My husband loves Ben & Jerry's Chubby Hubby Ice Cream, this is a bar cookie that has many of the qualities of that ice cream. I adapted some of my favorite cookie recipes into these bars."

These bars are delicious, although I believe an ingredient is missing from the recipe. In the directions, it reads "Stir in the peanut butter chips, chocolate chips, and pretzel pieces." Other than the 1/4 cup of peanut butter chips for the top, there is no other mention of a measurement for additional peanut butter chips. I added a cup of peanut butter chips to the recipe and it was perfect!

The best bars I've ever had. I LOVE Ben & Jerry's Chubby Hubby, and these are as close as you can get without being icecream! My kids and I ate a whole pan of them in one day. I had to make more for a church potluck, and it got rave reviews! I used chunky peanut butter and I loved the little bit of peanut crunch with them! I will absolutely be making these again and again! Another great recipe Ezri_B!

Easy to make and gone in no time! Took some with me to work and they were devoured. Have already made a second batch since we hardly got to taste the first. Very good indeed.<br/>Thanks for posting.<br/>Made for PAC, Autumn 2012.

These are really delicious! I had a bag of milk chocolate & peanut butter chips to use so I used half for the batter and the other half on top. We love the bit of salty crunch the pretzels give these bars, it was just enough. Quick and easy to with not a lot of clean-up. I'll definitely be making these again. Thanks for the recipe Ezri B :)
