The problem?
I hate peanut butter.
Peanut butter with chocolate is an insult to chocolate.
I couldn't even try these. But Hugo, as well as Amelia and Roo who filled in for me as taste testers, assured me that they are delish - if, that is, you're one of those people who appreciates peanut butter and chocolate!

Ooh, ooh. Pick me, pick me. I love peanut butter and chocolate together. If you send some out to me, I promise to give you an unbiased "assessment" for this life skills project of Hugo's.
Those happen to be my all-time favorites. One of the best parts of Christmas is knowing my niece has made a plate of these for us.
I still have to pull the Kiss off and eat it first to avoid cookie cross-contamination.
Psst - Come over and visit for a second. I have something for you.
Oh, my mom makes those and I LOVE THEM!!!!!
Similarly, there's a great recipe for "cherry chocolate kisses" which are cherry-flavored cookie with a chocolate kiss on top - they taste just like a chocolate-covered cherry if you pop the whole cookie in your mouth at once - which I do, I have a big mouth.
I love the cherry ones even more than the peanut butter ones.
