I had some trouble getting the bars to set properly. I think I might have needed to bake them for a little longer. Other than that, they were delicious!

These bars were a bit too sweet for my taste, but I think that's just a personal preference. Otherwise, they were very good and I would definitely make them again.

I'm not a huge fan of peanut butter, but I loved these bars! The chocolate and peanut butter flavors are perfectly balanced and the bars are so moist and chewy. I'll definitely be making them again.
