My thoughts: I love peanut butter cookies- and this recipe is incredibly simple (even kids would love making this!) I had extra candy melts from another project and that was the inspiration for the “black-bottom” part of this cookie (that, and the fact that I am ADDICTED to Fudge stripe cookies!!!) I wasn’t sure if the cookie and chocolate would stick together well- but they were inseparable! The drizzle on top just adds to the gourmet feel of these cookies. I hope you get a chance to try these– the “WOW’s” when you serve them are well worth the little extra time with the chocolate! Enjoy! r-
