very good, I think they might have needed a little more peanut butter (just personal preference) didn't have any chocolate bars handy so I microwaved 1-1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips mixed with 1 tablespoon shortening until melted and smooth, thanks for sharing hon, my peanut-butter loving DS enjoyed these!...Kitten:)
