I first found this recipe over at Sallysbakingaddiction, and immediately realized that I had all the ingredients on hand and stopped doing laundry to make them. (that was a no brainer!) less than 10 minutes to get these in the fridge in the afternoon and they had a few hours to set up in time for an evening dessert. They were everything you'd imagine. Peanut buttery, chocolaty, Heaven!
These will be in my holiday baking list FOR SURE!
ok, lets' get you started!
