Directions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 10x15-inch jellyroll pan.

"Made these for the first time for the 4th of July. They are amazing. I put them in the freezer after the peanut butter layer, until the peanut butter was hard enough to apply the frosting. I micro wa..." See moreved the frosting so it spread easily. They thawed quickly and were a gigantic hit. I will make these again."

"I have now made these twice, and both times were amazing! Both times, I have followed the recipe exactly (except that the first time I used wheat flour instead of all-purpose, and it did not make any..." See more difference). I only have 2 notes to add: first, I have found that the pb only needs 30 seconds in microwave to soften enough to spread, and second that I recommend sifting the coco and the powdered sugar that goes into the frosting. It makes little lumps, which isnt bad with the powdered sugar, but not that nice to have a bitter taste of coco! These ones are definitely worth the time and effort, and I will make them many times more!"
