So good!

Sandy from Los Angeles, CA

This recipe is so delicious and simple! It's a great kids dessert since it can be cut into bite-sized pieces that can be eaten at back-yard or classroom parties!
Yum

I made these for my boyfriend's family for Valentine's Day with a few variations. I used the Valentine's Hearts instead of the Butterfinger Hearts but they melted more than I would have liked and they didn't really retain their shape. Also, I substituted splenda for the white sugar, smart balance for the butter, and natural peanut butter. I didn't have a 9-inch baking dish, so I used an 8-inch but I think they came out too thick that way. The only question I had regarding the recipe was the direction to "Stir in the [Nestle Hearts]". I wasn't sure what this meant, but instead, I added Nestle Peanut Butter and Milk Chocolate morsels. The end result was great, and my boyfriend and his family loved them. I was glad I could "healthy" them up slighty by using the substituted ingredients. It didn't seem to make a difference at all.
Awesome!

These are great! I even crushed up some of the butterfinger minis and mixed them into the dough. A great hit at coffee hour!
definitely smooth

yummy, and best with creamy peanut butter. The butterfingers are a great addition.
These are Awesome

Connie Thompson from FREMONT, MI

If your a peanut butter fan you'll love these bars. I doubled the recipe because I needed a bigger batch and I wouldn't recommend doing that because the edges overcooked on the first batch. The 2nd batch I made according to directions and they were delicious!!!

I made these to donate to my son's lunch auction at school. They went fast and raised a lot of money for the senior class. Very tasty, easy to make and all the ingredients were already in my pantry. The kids loved them!

I just love to make bar cookies and these were one of the best I have found so far they were gone in a few minutes. Will be using these as some of the cookies that will be made for the bake sale at breakfast with Santa.
