I can't wait! I did sneak a bit of the peanut butter mixture before putting it in the pan. It was good!<br /><br />One tip for those who like their peanut butter treats to have more of a Reese's peanut butter cup flavor -- add a tsp or 2 of salt. That can also help balance out the sweetness. I also decided to add crunched up rice crispies along with the graham crackers just for some added texture. Hopefully, they will still turn out well!<br /><br />Thanks for sharing this recipe!Leiris Elipseshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18295993622998747246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4002612879648972347.post-88063826373943737752010-02-16T00:37:54.458+01:002010-02-16T00:37:54.458+01:00Deckard, you're right, these are incredibly s...Deckard, you're right, these are incredibly sweet. It's not a misprint, however, this is how they've always been made. More like a peanut butter fudge than anything else, really. (For example, one peanut butter fudge recipe I've seen calls for 3 1/2 cups confectioner's sugar and 2 1/4 cups brown sugar per 3/4 cups peanut butter.) Needless to say, they're not meant to be finished off in one sitting, but savored like any good piece of too-sweet fudge (which they pretty much all are).Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08402921195094964887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4002612879648972347.post-89558556732021812712010-02-16T00:12:31.458+01:002010-02-16T00:12:31.458+01:00My wife made me these for Valentine's Day usin...My wife made me these for Valentine's Day using this and they were edible, but your recipe calls for <b><i>WAY</i></b> too much sugar! She only used 14 oz instead of a pound because it's all we had and they were still almost unbearably sweet, with the sugar almost completely drowning out the peanut butter flavor.<br /><br />I looked at some other recipes around the internet and found that they use at <i>most</i> 2 cups or a half pound of powdered sugar, although the <a href="http://www.verybestbaking.com/recipes/detail.aspx?ID=32005" rel="nofollow">Toll House recipe</a> uses only 1 cup powdered sugar to 1 cup peanut butter, which I suspect is a better ratio.<br /><br />That said - I've had these before at parties made by other people and they are absolutely <i>delicious</i> when they don't have four times more sugar than necessary :-)deckardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17992724664512881941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4002612879648972347.post-71850113100684830082010-02-08T20:38:04.850+01:002010-02-08T20:38:04.850+01:00nothing like a good sweet treat that requires no b...nothing like a good sweet treat that requires no baking. these look great.Elianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15781974730634151455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4002612879648972347.post-61362894130519389872010-02-06T18:35:37.902+01:002010-02-06T18:35:37.902+01:00Wow, these look great.
