I love oreos and any dessert which incorporates them sounds good to me. Well done:) they look delish!
What an amazing creation! I love it!
Oh my goodness. I can't get past how heavenly that first picture looks. If I just sit and stare at it will these bars just magically appear? ;)
ERIN-I WILL TRY TO SEND U ONE-LET ME KNOW IF IT APPEARS! LOL THANKS BETTER BAKER & KIRSTEEN!!!
what size pan?
8X8
These look unbelievably creamy! Oh dear, these could REALLY get me into trouble. >:)
OH VERONICA U R THE FUNNIEST!!
Fantastic recipe! It looks so yummy. Thanks for sharing. Hope to see you on my blog:)
What do I line 8x8 pan with? How do I make these that they come out nicely and not stuck to pan? Also it says under crust about doubling ingredients? Is that all ingredients or only certain ones?
only the crust needs to be doubled
Will it all fit in the 8x8 pan though its doubles?
YES BC ONLY DOUBLING CRUST
This doesn't look right. What can I do to make it smooth like it said I already put vanilla and sugar in ...
Looks sorta like small balls
HMMM, DID U FOLLOW THE RECIPE EXACTLY?
I sent you a picture of it but yes. Since on my phone the recipe is separated a lot but I used electric mixer for the part for mixing the sugar PB and vanilla. I mixed by hand soften butter and PB.
is there anything i can do to make it the way it is suppose to without starting over again?
was your butter soft? if you are sure u used the right measurements, I would continue to beat it with the mixer until smooth.
yes butter was soft a little was melted on accident though : / positive i used the right measurements. and i will continue to beat it until its smooth... but what if i cont and it does not get smooth is there anything i can do to fix? (hate wasting stuff)
try more peanut butter but if measurements r right then it should get smooth. i have made this many times. good luck!
okay thank you. i also sent a picture of it to your email... thought it would help but thank you hope it turns out right thanks again sorry to be a pest i dont really bake... first time by myself :/
