  1. Guest Foodie REVIEW:

    this is a very good recipe. It was really moist and a nice change from always finding "chocolate " in all of the peanut butter bar recipes.

  2. Carol REVIEW:

    This recipe is great. Make sure you put it in the frige to set the frosting. This recipe will go into my favorites.
