I just remembered how good these are. I think most everyone probably already has this recipe - it's a classic. I hadn't had them in years and decided to dust off the recipe and make a batch. They were SO quick, so easy, and so delicious! I am such a sucker for the chocolate peanut butter combination. Really. Anyway, enjoy this classic and I hope you all have a great Thanksgiving. I know I have a lot to be thankful for :)
