Chocolate and peanut butter go
together like peas and carrots...haha!!! So when I made these I was
pretty excited to try one since I love that combo. Chocolate and peanut
butter, that is. Not peas and carrots. Especially peas. Yuck. This
little recipe only makes about 2 dozen but you really don't need more
than that since they are so rich! One cookie goes a long way! I gave my
folks a few of these and the next time I saw my mom she asked when I
would be making more and why was I so stingy in the first place, only
giving them 4 cookies! My dad is a HUGE chocolate/peanut butter fan so
maybe that's where I get my love of it, too...I don't know. But I DO
know...you need to make these ASAP!!
