For these, it's "cheap." I like Brach's' Bridge Mix but these PB
cookies deserve a real kiss. There's something about the stars -- i
think it's because they're not wrapped and they bump against each other
and get kind of a shopworn look to them.
Margaret doesn't consider either of them to be real chocolate, and
certainly not edible. Little do SHE know!
