  1. I have made these at Christmas for 35+ years. Terrific! They are a family favorite! I got the recipe from a McCalls cook book. I have found that if you make the peanut butter glaze as written, it never really hardens. If you heat the glaze and use a little less milk, it works perfectly.
     
  2. I saw Chef*Lee's review and knew I had to make these because my husband is a peanut butter freak. He loved them! I added extra peanut butter, mixed in 1/2 c. peanut butter chips, and accidently mixed the chocolate chips in the batter. I just spread the remainder of the bag (4 oz.)on top and drizzled it with glaze. We enjoyed the extra chocolate & peanut butter and would make it the same way again. Thanks!
     
  3. Yummy chocolate peanut-buttery goodness!! These taste great with the oats and the chips in the bars then the layer of chocolate and creamy peanut frosting glaze on top!!! Very moist and goeey!!! Thanks for the recipe!!!

  5. These were beyond delicious! I've had trouble staying out of the pan, lol. Great as a guilty breakfast with a nice cup of coffee. Will make often.
