My 16-year old son wanted to make something today so we went on recipezaar and found this recipe which seemed to call for ingredients we had in the pantry. I had a little bit of Eagle Brand Seeetened Condensed Milk in the fridge, about the same amount as the peanut butter and I mixed it with the peanut butter and then followed the recipe from there. These are very good! They smell soooo gooood when they are baking. The whole family liked them very much! (I also used creamy peanut butter as we don't use the chunky). Thanks for sharing this recipe!! My son said he would make them again because they are so easy to make!

Wonderful recipe. My family loves the taste of chocolate and peanut butter. It was very quick and easy and best of all it's a recipe where all the ingredients are a staple in my house. Thank you so much.

These were good right out of the oven, except that 25 minutes was too long to bake them after marbling--the edges burnt. And then just a couple hours later, they were hard as a rock, very unpleasant to try to eat. The flavor was good, but something needs to be tweaked to prevent the bars from getting so hard.
