Very good, but I think they would be better with more peanut butter.

I love these! They taste just like peanut butter cups! I've also made them in mini-muffin cups and as truffles, but they're fast, easy, and yummy just the way they are!

Very easy and seemed to go over well at a recent picnic. I would do the thicker version next time, a little too much chocolate.

My kids loves them. If I don't have Barker's semi-sweet chocolate so I would use package of chips instead if they are available.

Absolutely delicious! Amazing! I made these to bring to an office part and everyone loved them!!! I think this will be what I make at Christmas every year instead of the peanut butter chocolate balls. These taste even better and are WAAAAAY easier!
