From the Williams-Sonoma Cookies cookbook I received as a wedding gift, one of my favorite cookies and certainly my favorite use of chocolate:

Chocolate Peanut Butter Sandwiches

3/4 cup butter
3/4 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup flour
1/2 cup cocoa
1/4 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/8 tsp salt

Filling:
4 TBL butter
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
1/2 tsp vanilla

Cream the butter until fluffy. Add sugar and beat thoroughly. Blend in eggs and vanilla. Sift together flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, salt. Add to butter mixture, stir until just blended. Chill dough 2 hours.
Shape dough into balls (3/4 inch) and place on greased cookie sheets. Flatten each slightly. Bake at 350*F until firm, 10-12 min. Allow cookies to cool completely. Make filling: Combine butter, powdered sugar, peanut butter, and vanilla, beating until smooth. Cool until required. Make sandwiches of the cookies and filling, about 1 1/2 tsp filling per cookie. Store in a cool place.
Makes about 3 dozen cookies.

Now I'm thinking about them, but it's way too late to begin baking... Woe!

@Robyn: Sad to learn that Baldinger's will close, as I live in western PA and haven't visited yet. I'll try to go this weekend! Zelienople is on the way to the Grove City Outlets, so I'll probably head up there to shop for a bit and then I'll stop for a sugar fix on the way home.

Is there any way to save it? I wanna go but it's a 6 hour drive for me, wahhh!

It's hard to choose a favorite when it comes to chocolate because just eating it from the package is heavenly. But having to choose I probably would choose chocolate-praline truffles.

my grandma's fudge..........

Of course, chocolate truffles from Alice Medrich
