LOVED, LOVED, LOVED!!!!!!!!! THIS RECIPE.This is really a fun one to do with the kids. I had my son help me crush the cookies and he loved it. He felt very needed and was excited to share his special treat. I did get the chucks of chocolate chip cookies. That way we could taste a little bit more chocolate. Because you do taste a lot of peanut butter. We plan on cooking them again this wkend to take to Grandma's house. Enjoy you will not regret it.

Absolutely delicious!!! Make sure the cookies are FINELY chopped or they will not stick to the peanut butter very easily.

The kids absolutely loved these! They also enjoyed helping in making them. I plan to take them as a treat for my daughters preschool class. They'll be perfect!

This was very easy to make and everyone at work loved it. It is very rich and the peanut butter takes over the taste of the cookie. All in all if you like peanut butter go for it.

My kids helped me make these for Christmas gifts - they were so easy to make & very good. 1 or 2 is enough though since they are so sweet! I'm going to try making them with Oreos next time.

I'm in college and I'm always looking for simple recipes to make that don't require a kitchen because I live in the dorms and don't have easy access to a kitchen. We had a hall social the other night and my roommate grabbed the leftover cookies. I didn't want an entire package of chocolate chip cookies sitting around the room, so when I found this recipe, I thought it would be perfect to use up the cookies. These were delicious and all the girls on my hall loved them.

A little messy to make, but really fun. Made them for a baseball team party and all the kids LOVED them. I did double up on the cookies.
