Ohmigerrrrd… all of my favorite naughtiness in one recipe! HAYELLP!
I didn’t know cheesecake could get any better! Yum!
Oh my oh my – they look too yummy to resist! I better not bake any for fear I might eat the whole lot!
Seriously?!?! You are killing me with these!!! I NEED THEM NOW!
They are so good!! I wish I had enough willpower to just have one.
Wow, these kill me. They look so amazing.
So good (and dangerous!)
This looks amazing! The sugar would probably put me straight into a coma :)
I too am a lover of chocolate and peanut butter. Do you have a Trader Joes where you live? I love their mini peanut butter cups.
Me too.
My kids would love this, but the peanut butter hater in me must move on. ;0
Oh my! I’m supposed to be starting to lost weight tomorrow…I might have to delay.
Holy Mother Goodness. The picture says it all. I want some, now!!
