  1. Always the first to go on my cookie tray this year. I thought they had a lot of flavors going on. Made half and used an 8x8 pan to bake.
     
  2. Very good. First time making them, took them to church for fellowship this morning. Received alot of positive compliments, and actually... they look IDENTICAL to your picture :) Thanks for posting
     
  3. These were a wonderful treat. I love the combination of cranberries and chocolate. These would be great for the holidays.
     
  4. How delicious!! These were easy and quick to make, but were easier and quicker to eat. Will definitely make these again - they were a big hit with the family.
     
  5. I increased the orange zest [using zest from 1 entire orange] & used mini chips! These bars were made primarily for an AA meeting my other half attends, but I managed to save 4 of them for us here at home, & they are VERY, VERY OUTSTANDING bars! Thanks so much for sharing this great recipe!
