What You Need

pkg. (4 oz. each) BAKER'S Semi-Sweet Chocolate, divided

3/4

cup firmly packed brown sugar

1/2

cup PLANTERS Creamy Peanut Butter

1/4

cup (1/2 stick) butter or margarine, softened

eggs

tsp. vanilla

1/2

cup flour

1/4

tsp. CALUMET Baking Powder

cups PLANTERS Salted Peanuts

Make It

PREHEAT oven to 350°F. Coarsely chop 8 oz. chocolate; set aside. Microwave remaining 8 oz. chocolate in large microwaveable bowl on HIGH 2 min., stirring after 1 min. Stir until chocolate is completely melted. Add sugar, peanut butter, butter, eggs and vanilla; stir with wooden spoon until well blended. Add flour and baking powder; mix well. Stir in chopped chocolate and peanuts.

DROP rounded tablespoonfuls of dough onto baking sheets.

BAKE 12 to 14 min. or until cookies are puffed and feel set to the touch. Cool on baking sheets 1 min. Remove to wire racks; cool completely. (To freeze, wrap cooled cookies in plastic wrap; place in airtight container or freezer-weight resealable plastic bag. Freeze up to 1 month. Thaw cookies at room temperature before serving.)

Kraft Kitchens Tips

Size-Wise

Sit down with your child after school and discuss the day's events while enjoying one of these cookies with an ice cold glass of 1% milk.

Alternate Size Cookies

Prepare as directed, using one of the following options: Bite-Size Cookies: Drop heaping teaspoonfuls of dough onto baking sheets. Bake 6 to 7 min. or until golden brown. Makes 5-1/2 doz. bite-size cookies or 32 servings, two cookies each. For Larger Cookies: Drop scant 1/4 cupfuls of dough onto baking sheets. Bake 13 to 14 min. or until cookies are puffed and feel set to the touch. Cool 1 min.; remove from baking sheets. Cool completely. Makes 1-1/2 doz. large cookies or 18 servings, one cookie each.

Variation

Omit peanuts. Increase flour to 3/4 cup to prevent dough from spreading out too much on baking sheets as cookies bake.

Not really that good when they first come out of the oven because of all the chocolate, but I gave them another shot on taste testing after they had cooled off, and its delicious! they actually turned out pretty well. I used the semi-sweet morsels instead of squares, its easier to do instead of having to chop up the squares.

Too heavy and too rich. Very dry.

I made these and brought them to work. My coworkers absolutely loved them - I got marriage proposals! They were a little dry for my personal taste. I made these for my boyfriend and parents and they loved them as well.

Great cookies! May be a little too much chocolate for some. Recommend using chocolate morsels instead of chopping the Bakers chocolate up.

it's a dry thick tasting cookie....made it the 1st time like the recipe...2nd time doubled the peanutbutter and only 1/2 the amount of choc.......it's still missing something because I've had better.

Wow! They don't call it "bliss" for nothing! Decadently a chocolate lovers dream come true, and the peanut butter adds the perfect nutty touch to my taste buds! Magnificent!

I followed the instructions very carefully and the cookies came out extremely sweet and too thick with the chocolate taste. The recipe requires an overwhelming amount of chocolate, combined with the peanut butter- it's just too thick. It's a good cookie if you feel like CHOKING ON Something.
