I need to make something along these lines. I can tell already that I am just barely getting enough protein, and taking too many calories to do it. Plus I love peanut butter Thanks!

Excellent. I have a kitchen wide open for your use to make an experimental batch

Seems simple and nutritious enough, but how do they actually TASTE? (The matter could be more texture than flavor, I imagine).

I made Johnka's a couple of years ago (baked those) but I never quite got the exact consistency or baking time right, and they came out, well, technically edible.

if you like peanut butter and chocolate, you'll love the taste. They were kid-tested yesterday. PASSED!
