These logs are a great make-ahead snack. I like to make a batch on the weekend and then have them on hand for the week.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my logs turned out really crumbly. I think I might have over-mixed the dough.

These logs are a great way to use up leftover peanut butter. I always have a jar of peanut butter in my pantry, so it's nice to have a recipe that uses it up.

I'm not a big fan of peanut butter, but I thought I'd give these logs a try. I was pleasantly surprised! The chocolate coating really balances out the peanut butter flavor.

I had a hard time getting the chocolate to stick to the logs. I think I might have used the wrong type of chocolate. Next time, I'll try using a chocolate that's specifically designed for dipping.

These logs were a bit too sweet for my taste, but I think that's just a personal preference. I would recommend using a darker chocolate for dipping if you want a more balanced flavor.
