• Give the peanut butter mixture a good smash down when you transfer it to the pan.  That is what is going to hold them together when it's time to cut and serve them.
• Be careful not to overcook the chocolate chips when you are melting them.  Give them a good stir between each trip to the microwave and stop as soon as it stirs smooth.
