My family enjoyed these. They were easy to make, I left out the coconut, because my son doesn't like it, and they were still good.

Very good

G. C. from San Jose, CA

I made these over the weekend and thought they were very tasty and easy. Not 5-stars amazing, but still a yummy treat. I don't like peanuts so I substituted peanut butter chips instead and that worked perfectly. Good to try if you want a twist on 7 layer/magic bars.
Awesome Awesome Awesome!

Erika from Olympia, WA

These are so good! I also took about 25 carmels (plus a couple tablespoons of water) and melted in the microwave. When the pan came out of the oven I drizzled the caramel over the top. Then sprinkled some more coconut over that. TO DIE FOR!

This recipe was very easy and delicious. My 7 & 10 year old enjoyed helping me. We bake a lot together at Christmas, and it makes me happy to find a recipe that I can let them do most of the work on.

The crust on this bar cookie is much better than a graham cracker crust.

Peanut Butter Delight

Laurie Kirtley from Cape Coral, FL

These bars were sooo incredibly delicious, I couldn't believe how quickly they disappeared off the plate at a recent family gathering. What a simple and tasty treat to make for family and friends to make them feel special and think you spent all morning in the kitchen. When all you spent was just a few minutes! Perfect blend of chocolate and peanut butter.

These are great and you can make so many variations depending on what you have in the kitchen. I've used graham cracker crumbs, toffee chips, peanut butter chips, butterscotch chips, even M&Ms. Anybody can make them and everybody loves them!

Great carry in idea

becky montgomery from lucasville, OH

I dont know how anyone who would not like this cookie it really travels well and at work we have a cookie club and I loved getting this one in fact everyone wanted the recipe so that they could make it and bring it next time so that we would have it again.
A little inconvenient, but very worth it.

RACHEL GUNN from CA

I almost gave this 4 out of 5 stars because I was a little turned off by the fact that I had to go out and buy cookies in order to make these cookies. However the result is an incredible and very tasty cookie. It really is delicious and it's easy to make. In fact it's a good one to make with little kids because they can help smash the peanut butter sandwich cookies and help assemble each layer!
Carnation Peanut Butter Chocolate Layer Bars

Nancy Barnes from Canyon Lake, TX

Very good! They was a big hit and a great way to use up broken cookies. Next time I plan to reverse the crust and morsels. Do a chocolate cookie crust and a peanut butter morsel top. That should be good too.
A BIG HIT

Patti Spinks from San Angelo, TX

I made these and took them to a Cookie exchange party and EVERYONE loved them and wanted the recipe.

So Easy

R. W. from

These cookies were so easy to make and tasted even better that I thought they would.
Very Good

Ali from Washington, DC

Awesome bars! They are best right out of the oven, so they are good for a (childrens) party... I want to try to add different toppings, like white chips and macadamia nuts too!! mmm good!!!
Great modification for magic cookie bars

Lisa Belliston from Athens, GA

I love the modification of using peanut butter cookies for the crust to these magic cookie bars/7 layer bars instead of graham crackers. I do recommend against using raw peanuts (which is what I had at home) rather than the dry roasted. However, it still got good reviews from my friends!
Yummie!!!

Jackie Menke from Washington, DC

I made these for my college spanish class for a presentation. They were easy (for a kid that lives in the dorms, it was excellent to only have 6 ingredients) and they turned out delicious. **a little secret: try to keep the condensed milk a tiny bit (half an inch) away from the edges of the bars bc it seaps out and carmelizes against the hot pan. That makes for a sticky, hardened edge. Otherwise, they are terrific!!
Fun and yummy

TRINA ODUM from OVERLAND PARK, KS

Great recipe to make with the children. 4 out of 5 loved them and want them weekly after school.
Kids have fun with theses

Paul Seelig from Morrisville, NC

This are the best bars I have baked. They are very easy to prepare, and great fun to do with the kids.
Carnation Peanut Butter Chocolate Layer Bars

Juli K from Omaha, NE

I used to make this recipe with graham cracker crumbs and butter for a base. Since I've used your recipe with the cookies instead, they are a much better success. And you don't have to add the butter since it's already in the cookies. 1 less step, Thank You!
