I LIKE THESE. YOU SHOULD MAKE THEM AND THEN HIDE IN YOUR ROOM WITH THEM. (I may or may not have done this myself). This is from an awesome blog that has about A MILLION pb-chocolate recipes. It is therefore my favorite place to browse when I can't sleep... or when I'm hungry... or when I want to torture myself.
