I love everything about the concept of this bar, except that it is EXTREMELY rich, sweet and over chocolatey. Strange coming from a person who LOVES her sweets and chocolate. The chocolate (crunch) layer on top is so insanely sweet its not enjoyable. I also think that 1 stick of butter is way too much for the chocolate. This made the chocolate a little too soft, I would have liked it to have a little more firmness to it. The chex cereal gets lost in the mound of chocolate/butter/peanutbutter combo and the sugar cookie layer is just a platform for blobs of chocolate. I also skipped the powdered sugar...not hard to figure out why! I am saving this recipe though and I will try it changing the topping around. I plan on scaling back the chocolate, peanutbutter and butter topping and keeping the chex meausurement the same. Will report back!!
