My husband and I enjoyed these tasty bars! I cut the recipe in half for the two of us and baked them in an 8x8-inch pan, which worked just fine.

I saw several reviews that stated the bars were too dry\/sweet, and lacked some strong PB flavor. So, I only put in 3\/4c. brown sugar and 3\/4c. granulated sugar, upped the PB to 1 cup, and added a quick splash of milk. I also melted the butter as opposed to softening it, because I've found melted butter makes for a softer finished product. I didn't have a 9x13 pan, so I used a sheet pan at 350 degrees for 19 minutes.I think it's delicious. Super moist with a great peanut butter flavor.**For people who are avid fans, though, I'd recommend adding up to 1-1\/2 cups of peanut butter, because while I could taste it, I'd still call it \"light.\"","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":5,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2020-08-28","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"BlueBlowdryer"},"reviewBody":"I made these and in less than an hour, they were all gone!

If you want more peanut butter flavor, then use peanut butter chips in place of half the amount of chocolate chips---I do.

Perhaps I am just in a cranky frame of mind today, and for this I apologize; however, I get really tired of the Nutrition Police posting their warnings. I would think that most of us are intelligent enough to realize than if you are on a diet, or have health restrictions, you won't be making this recipe. For those of you who are able to, I recommend the recipe. I mean, how often are you going to be eating these? Every day? Every week? Unlikely.

When I read the cooking time of 50 minutes I said NO WAY so I set my oven timer for 25,..nd checked, and had to add more time,...I kept adding time until exactly 50 minutes.

I was very disappointed with this recipe. There was not a lot of peanut butter flavor, as other reviews pointed out. I could have dealt with the lack luster peanut butter flavor and adjusted it accordingly the next time but my family did not care for the texture. I also thought they were kind of greasy. Maybe I creamed the butter mixture too long? I was hoping for a more chewy, crisp bar. I might had gotten more of the texture I was hoping for if I had baked them in a jelly roll pan instead of a 9x13 pan. Sadly, I will not be trying the recipe again, it had too many strikes against it for our family.<\/p>","CommentId":12,"DateRated":"09\/22\/2014 22:31","GUID":"3D4895E09CF84DB6B2122AB3BE59542D","MemberId":2664700,"Rating":1,"ScreenName":"LucyVee","SubmittedDate":"09\/22\/2014 22:30"},{"Comment":"

Wonderful bars! I had the bars in the oven and was reading reviews and based on them, turned the timer down by fifteen minutes....however, the bars weren't done, so altogether they were baked for forty minutes and came out perfectly.

Excellent recipe! My husband asked me why I never made something like a GORP cookie. I said because you told me you don't like raisins in cookies! Of course, he didn't remember that and said he thought he would like GORP cookies. I saw this recipe and decided to put it to use. I used 1 C. raisins with 1 C. choco chips and they are a big hit, exactly as he imagined a good GORP cookie to be. Will make these again soon, I am sure -- now that he knows he likes raisins in his cookies!<\/p>","CommentId":19,"DateRated":"","GUID":"056ce937b69443ab9e766eddc986d7da","MemberId":3715262,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"tfb1108","SubmittedDate":"02\/05\/2014 17:26"},{"Comment":"

I thought these were excellent. I saw several reviews that stated the bars were too dry\/sweet, and lacked some strong PB flavor. So, I only put in 3\/4c. brown sugar and 3\/4c. granulated sugar, upped the PB to 1 cup, and added a quick splash of milk. I also melted the butter as opposed to softening it, because I've found melted butter makes for a softer finished product. I didn't have a 9x13 pan, so I used a sheet pan at 350 degrees for 19 minutes.<\/p>
I think it's delicious. Super moist with a great peanut butter flavor.<\/p>
**For people who are avid fans, though, I'd recommend adding up to 1-1\/2 cups of peanut butter, because while I could taste it, I'd still call it "light."<\/p>","CommentId":21,"DateRated":"10\/23\/2013 19:32","GUID":"c9f119b2f1e24a7ea102dc2863bb366e","MemberId":7456474,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"catchslip","SubmittedDate":"10\/23\/2013 19:28"},{"Comment":"

I made these for Father's Day. To dress them up a little, I cut the bars a little larger and served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and a drizzle of chocolate syrup. So yummy! My mom does not eat ice cream so she enjoyed hers plain, as is and she is not a person to eat seconds but asked if she could have another. When I baked these for the minimum suggested time the middle was not quite done, so I baked for another 5 minutes. The edges got a little crispy but some in my family, including me, like things a little crispy.<\/p>","CommentId":27,"DateRated":"06\/19\/2013 14:51","GUID":"24008c82abcc4fa5b966fdb07428c4d6","MemberId":6445428,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"christycincy","SubmittedDate":"06\/19\/2013 14:51"},{"Comment":"

Tastes like a peanut butter cookie but much easier to make. They didn't look much like the picture, mine were more cake-like which is fine, but I might have enjoyed them a little better had they been more fudgy. Brought them to a potluck and they were nearly all gone! Also, I took note of the reviews and would recommend baking them for 30-35 minutes as opposed to the 45-50 minutes.<\/p>","CommentId":50,"DateRated":"06\/30\/2012 18:51","GUID":"68a61d3794df491d9f8ec0561a8e5153","MemberId":6324211,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"1275","SubmittedDate":"06\/30\/2012 18:51"},{"Comment":"
These are so easy!! I have made them 2x now and perfect each time. I baked mid lower level of oven for 50-55 minutes in a greased 9 x 13" baking dish. OMGoodness - nice thick chewy bar. Perfect!

This recipe came out delicious, and was not dry at all. I used a glass 9x9 baking dish and only used wheat flour. I also used 3\/4 cup of peanut butter and added 1\/2 cup of Reese's peanut butter chips. The flavor was excellent and very peanut buttery. They were also very moist and lasted about 4 days before starting to dry out a little too much.

My husband and co-workers defined them as a big, thick peanut butter cookie! They were awesome.

i used 1\/2 butterscotch chips & 1\/2 chocolate chips which tastes great.

I've been making this recipe for more than thirty years. If you want more peanut butter flavor, then use peanut butter chips in place of half the amount of chocolate chips---I do. I also use a larger pan and bake them for less time, as well as putting the pan on a higher rack in the oven. Perhaps I am just in a cranky frame of mind today, and for this I apologize; however, I get really tired of the Nutrition Police posting their warnings. I would think that most of us are intelligent enough to realize than if you are on a diet, or have health restrictions, you won't be making this recipe.

I would love to have the cake mix recipe. 4 eggs are just too many when you are trying to bake for heart patients.

I make this with a cake mix and fewer ingredients. It's very moist, and full of peanut butter flavor. It was shared by a neighbor who baked up a batch as a treat for my family some years ago.

These are a nice departure from your standard chocolate cake brownies. They are dense and moist, and not too sweet! I typically use 1\/2 dark chocolate and 1\/2 milk chocolate chips. However, if you want extra peanut butter flavoring, try using the peanut butter chips. The turn out great!<\/p>","CommentId":112,"DateRated":"06\/01\/2010 17:30","GUID":"ee16499cbed54ac0ab27827cf6270f4c","MemberId":1401063,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"zmarie","SubmittedDate":"04\/14\/2011 14:32"},{"Comment":"

I have made this twice in the past month... sooo good! It packs and travels very well. Not overly sweet (I use semisweet chocolate chips) but very flavorful. It makes a great snack, potluck offering, or picnic dessert and can be pre-cut into bars and wrapped individually for a car trip. Better than cookies and easier, too.<\/p>","CommentId":118,"DateRated":"05\/25\/2010 09:51","GUID":"ca68105ef5f8484ab9d60979bcf56896","MemberId":1289081,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"Claranita","SubmittedDate":"05\/25\/2010 09:51"},{"Comment":"

These were very easy. I've added white choc. chips at times and they were popular as well.
