Be warned, there is zero nutritional content in these bad boys (okay maybe a little from the peanut butter.
Taste just like a butterfinger candy bar.

Oh man! Oh man! I'm sooooooo gonna try these. Hmm, I need to go to the grocery store now, lol.

I just made these - they are in the fridge setting :).
Would it be okay if I repost with UK measures and ingredient titles if they turn out well? I will, of course, link back to your post.

*grins* Go right ahead and post the UK measures and ingredients. Being over here I don't always have access to conversion information and where I found it wasn't any help.

You will have to tell me how they turn out. I'm NOT making these until school starts up because I DON'T want to EAT them all by myself.* People at work will eat them *evil grin* esp. if I put them by the coffee maker or worse in the office. The secretaries will hate me.


*Son doesn't like new things *sighs* and is a purest. I bought him another kind of sweet/tart candy in the string version and .....*frowning* He will starve to death if all his food companies change their products.

If you make them let me know if they're good.
I like that I don't have to heat up the house with baking when it's 100 degrees outside.

My mom makes these! They're crazy good. (And I'm fine with zero nutritional value . . . .)

*grins* All the more reason that when I make these I have people to eat them so the total contents of the pan don't end up in me.
What does your Mom use, graham crackers, shortbread cookie crumbs or oatmeal? .... oatmeal is nutritious. Right?
